Answer by DrLact: About Crotalidae Polyvalent Immune Fab usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of crotalidae polyvalent immune fab (ovine) during breastfeeding. Because it is a large protein molecule, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract.
