Because less than 1% is absorbed after topical application, mupirocin is considered a low risk to the nursing infant.[1] Ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of skin that have been treated. Only water-miscible cream or gel products should be applied to the breast because ointments may expose the infant to high levels of mineral paraffins via licking.[2] Mupirocin applied topically to the nipples appears to be relatively ineffective as a treatment for sore, cracked nipples.
由于局部应用后吸收的量不到1%，莫匹罗星被认为对哺乳期婴儿风险较低。[1] 确保婴儿皮肤不直接接触已治疗的皮肤区域。仅应将水溶性乳膏或凝胶产品涂抹于乳房，因为软膏可能会使婴儿通过舔舐接触到高剂量的矿物石蜡。[2] 局部应用于乳头的莫匹罗星作为治疗乳头疼痛、皲裂的方法似乎效果相对不佳。
