Is GA 101 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use GA 101? Is GA 101 safe for nursing mother and child? Does GA 101 extracts into breast milk? Does GA 101 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can GA 101 influence milk supply or can GA 101 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About GA 101 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of GA 101 during breastfeeding. Because GA 101 is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 150,000, 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. Until more data become available, GA 101 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1] The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during GA 101 therapy.
