Answer by DrLact: About UNII-FZ7NYF5N8L usage in lactation

Limited data indicate that breastmilk iron is not increased after intravenous infusion of UNII-FZ7NYF5N8L. Amounts of iron ingested by the infant would be normal and are not expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. The oral form of the drug, called sucroferric oxyhydroxide and used as a phosphate binder, is not orally absorbed it is unlikely to reach the breastmilk or adversely affect the breastfed infant. No special precautions are required. Pasteurization of milk by the Holder method reduces the concentration of iron in milk by about 6.5%.[1]
