Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-8R78F6L9VO usage in lactation

Answer by DrLact: About UNII-8R78F6L9VO usage in lactation

BBecause of the low levels of UNII-8R78F6L9VO in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small. It also has poor oral bioavailability, further decreasing infant exposure to the drug. Some authors have suggested that withholding breastfeeding for 8 hours after a single subcutaneous injection would virtually eliminate infant exposure to the drug.[1] The manufacturer recommends withholding breastfeeding for 12 hours after a dose. Withholding breastfeeding might be helpful in extreme cases, such as in the mother of a preterm infant, but UNII-8R78F6L9VO would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in most breastfed infants. One anecdotal report of lactation ceasing after a single injection of UNII-8R78F6L9VO has not been verified.
