Answer by DrLact: About UNII-9RV78Q2002 usage in lactation

Limited information indicates that maternal UNII-9RV78Q2002 injections produce low levels in breastmilk and does not adversely affect the nursing infant. Because UNII-9RV78Q2002 is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 147,000, absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Until more data become available, UNII-9RV78Q2002 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
