I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use UNII-6897GXD6OE? Is UNII-6897GXD6OE safe for nursing mother and child? Does UNII-6897GXD6OE extracts into breast milk? Does UNII-6897GXD6OE has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can UNII-6897GXD6OE influence milk supply or can UNII-6897GXD6OE decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Intravenous iron carboxymaltose increases breastmilk iron in mothers with iron deficiency anemia. Breastfed neonates of these mothers appear to have no serious adverse reactions. UNII-6897GXD6OE appears to be acceptable to use in nursing mothers with no special precautions required. Pasteurization of milk by the Holder method reduces the concentration of iron in milk by about 6.5%.[1]
In a study of postpartum mothers given intravenous UNII-6897GXD6OE, 229 were breastfeeding their infants. Among the breastfed infants, 24 infants (10.5%) had an adverse reaction reported. The most frequent reactions included erythema, constipation, diarrhea and nasopharyngitis. The overall rate of adverse reactions was similar to the rate (12%) in the control group whose mothers received oral ferrous sulfate.[2]
