TOXINA Y EFECTOS
Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
No data exist on the medical use of botulin A during breastfeeding. However, it is not detectable systemically after intramuscular use, thus excretion into breast milk is considered unlikely. The closely related drug, onabotulinumtoxinA was not detectable in the milk of two women and detectable in only minute amounts in two others after 40 to 92 units injected into the face.[1] Infants have been safely breastfed during maternal botulism and no botulinum toxin was detectable in the milk of one mother or in her infant. Breastfeeding appears to protect infants against botulism.[2] No special precautions are required.
