Is Elaprase Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Elaprase? Is Elaprase safe for nursing mother and child? Does Elaprase extracts into breast milk? Does Elaprase has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Elaprase influence milk supply or can Elaprase decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Elaprase usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Elaprase during breastfeeding. Because it is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 76,000, 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.
