Answer by DrLact: About UNII-K16AIQ8CTM usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of UNII-K16AIQ8CTM during breastfeeding. Because UNII-K16AIQ8CTM is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 148,000, 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, UNII-K16AIQ8CTM should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during UNII-K16AIQ8CTM therapy and for 7 months after the last dose.
