Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use DRG-0132? Is DRG-0132 safe for nursing mother and child? Does DRG-0132 extracts into breast milk? Does DRG-0132 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can DRG-0132 influence milk supply or can DRG-0132 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About DRG-0132 usage in lactation

Because DRG-0132 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 DRG-0132 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.
