We do not have alternatives for Capreomycin Sulfate.
Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.
Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.

Capreomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used as a second-line drug in the treatment of tuberculosis when there is resistance to other drugs. Intramuscular or intravenous administration.
At the date of the last update we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Its high molecular weight makes its excretion in breast milk unlikely.
Its practically null oral bioavailability (oral absorption less than 1%) prevents passage into the plasma of the infant from ingested breast milk, except in premature infants and the immediate neonatal period in which there may be greater intestinal permeability.
No adverse effects have been reported in infants breastfed by mothers treated with capreomycin that can be directly attributed to this drug. (Drobac 2005)
