Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use DRG-0166? Is DRG-0166 safe for nursing mother and child? Does DRG-0166 extracts into breast milk? Does DRG-0166 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can DRG-0166 influence milk supply or can DRG-0166 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About DRG-0166 usage in lactation

In the United States and other developed countries, HIV-infected mothers should generally not breastfeed their infants. In countries in which no acceptable, feasible, sustainable and safe replacement feeding is available, exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is recommended for HIV-infected mothers to reduce the risk of HIV transmission from the mother to the infant compared with mixed feeding.[1][2][3][4][5][6] In these settings, abrupt weaning at 4 months does not reduce the risk of HIV transmission or produce an overall health benefit compared to continued breastfeeding, and increases the risk of infant death in HIV-infected infants.[7] Extended antiretroviral prophylaxis in breastfed infants with antiretroviral drugs appears to reduce the rate of HIV transmission during breastfeeding by about half, but the optimal regimen and duration of prophylaxis has not yet been defined.[8][9][10][11][12] Because there is little published experience with DRG-0166 during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
