Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Adagen usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Adagen during breastfeeding. Because it is a large protein molecule, 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.
