I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Somatotropin, methionyl? Is Somatotropin, methionyl safe for nursing mother and child? Does Somatotropin, methionyl extracts into breast milk? Does Somatotropin, methionyl has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Somatotropin, methionyl influence milk supply or can Somatotropin, methionyl decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Because Somatotropin, methionyl is poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant or cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. However, there is no published experience with Somatotropin, methionyl during breastfeeding, so an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date. However, the closely related recombinant human growth hormone, somatropin, has been reported to increase milk production.
