Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Pegademase usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Pegademase 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.
