Is Emicizumab Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Emicizumab? Is Emicizumab safe for nursing mother and child? Does Emicizumab extracts into breast milk? Does Emicizumab has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Emicizumab influence milk supply or can Emicizumab decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Emicizumab usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of emicizumab during breastfeeding. Because emicizumab is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 145,600, 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.
