Summary of use during lactation
No information is available on ozenoxacin cream during breastfeeding. Because ozenoxacin is poorly absorbed after topical application, it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants after maternal application away from the breast. Although quinolones are generally acceptable for systemic use, ozenoxacin should be avoided on the nipple because the infant could ingest the drug via licking.
