Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the use of omadacycline during breastfeeding. It is unknown how much omadacycline is excreted into breastmilk, but the drug is only about 35% absorbed orally under optimal circumstances, and is probably less from milk because of its calcium content. Although the manufacturer recommends avoiding breastfeeding during administration of omadacycline and for 4 days after the last dose, short-term use of omadacycline is probably acceptable in nursing mothers. If an infant is breastfed, monitor the infant for possible effects on the gastrointestinal flora, such as diarrhea, candidiasis (e.g., thrush, diaper rash) or rarely, blood in the stool indicating possible antibiotic-associated colitis. As a theoretical precaution, avoid prolonged or repeat courses during nursing.
