Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the use of tedizolid during breastfeeding. Tedizolid is 70 to 90% bound in maternal plasma, so large amounts are not expected to appear in breastmilk. If tedizolid is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but because there is no published experience with tedizolid during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
