Answer by DrLact: About GS-4104 usage in lactation

Limited data indicate that GS-4104 and its active metabolite are poorly excreted into breastmilk. Maternal dosages of 150 mg daily produce low levels in milk and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants, especially if the infant is older than 2 months. Infants over 1 year of age can receive GS-4104 directly in doses much larger than those in breastmilk.
