Answer by DrLact: About Dornase Alfa usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of dornase alpha (hamster) during breastfeeding. Because it is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 37,000, 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.
