Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About pegADA usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of pegADA 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.
