Answer by DrLact: About UNII-RWM8CCW8GP usage in lactation

The excretion of UNII-RWM8CCW8GP 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 UNII-RWM8CCW8GP. Until more data are available, UNII-RWM8CCW8GP should be used in nursing mothers with careful infant monitoring, especially if the infant is under 2 months of age.
