Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region)? Is Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) safe for nursing mother and child? Does Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) extracts into breast milk? Does Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) influence milk supply or can Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) usage in lactation

No information is available on the passage of Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) into breastmilk. Because Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 145,157, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Until more data become available, Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) injection should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Topical or homeopathic preparations pose little risk to the nursing infant. Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) is a human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) kappa antibody. Holder pasteurization (62.5 degrees C for 30 minutes) decreases the concentration of endogenous immunoglobulin G by up to 79%.[1][2] A study of 67 colostrum samples that underwent Holder pasteurization found that IgG amounts decreased by 34 to 40%. Specific IgG subclasses decreased by different amounts, with IgG1 activity decreasing by about 37%.[3] None of the studies measured IgG activity.

Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region) Side Effects in Breastfeeding

In an international multicenter study of mothers exposed to interleukin-1 receptor antagonists, 4 babies were breastfed (extent not stated) by mothers receiving regular Immunoglobulin G1, anti-(human interleukin 1beta) (human clone ACZ885 heavy chain V region). It is unclear if mothers received the drug postpartum or only during pregnancy. There were no reported serious infections and no developmental abnormalities at a mean follow-up of 2.2 years (range 5 months to 4 years).[4]
