Answer by DrLact: About Plecanatide usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of plecanatide during breastfeeding. Because plecanatide is not orally absorbed by the mother, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. Until more data become available, plecanatide should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
