Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Synagis? Is Synagis safe for nursing mother and child? Does Synagis extracts into breast milk? Does Synagis has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Synagis influence milk supply or can Synagis decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Synagis usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Synagis during breastfeeding. Because Synagis 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 will probably be destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract.
