Answer by DrLact: About CCRIS 6722 usage in lactation

CCRIS 6722 is a complex of iron oxide and dextran, similar to iron dextran. It is not expected to pose a toxic risk to a nursing infant. If CCRIS 6722 is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, because there is no published experience with CCRIS 6722 during breastfeeding, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
