Answer by DrLact: About Vestronidase Alfa-vjbk usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of vestronidase alfa during breastfeeding. Because vestronidase alfa is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 290,000, 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.
