On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding was not found. High molecular weight and plasma protein binding make excretion into breast milk unlikely. Low oral biodisponibility would be protective for breastfed children who are not newborn or premature. Some data indicates a risk for low milk production.

Because almost no information is available on the use of Supralimus during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

One infant was reported breastfed (extent not stated) during maternal therapy with Supralimus, tacrolimus and prednisone in unspecified dosages following a kidney-pancreas transplant. The authors who followed the mother knew of no serious side effects in the infant.[1]
