Answer by DrLact: About DRG-0115 usage in lactation
The excretion of DRG-0115 into breastmilk has not been studied. However, because it is poorly absorbed orally and has been safely administered directly to infants by injection, it is unlikely to adversely affect the breastfed infant. One breastfed infant apparently experienced no adverse effects during maternal use of DRG-0115. Until more data are available, DRG-0115 should be used in nursing mothers with careful infant monitoring, especially if the infant is under 2 months of age.
