Answer by DrLact: About Afutuzumab [Previous USAN] usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Afutuzumab [Previous USAN] during breastfeeding. Because Afutuzumab [Previous USAN] 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, Afutuzumab [Previous USAN] should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1] The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Afutuzumab [Previous USAN] therapy.
