Answer by DrLact: About Pegvaliase usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of pegvaliase-pqpz during breastfeeding. Absorption of the drug by the infant from breastmilk is unlikely because it is a polypeptide that is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Pegvaliase-pqpz may decrease the phenylalanine content of breastmilk. The manufacturer recommends monitoring blood phenylalanine concentrations in breastfeeding women treated with pegvaliase-pqpz.
