Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use UN 2424? Is UN 2424 safe for nursing mother and child? Does UN 2424 extracts into breast milk? Does UN 2424 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can UN 2424 influence milk supply or can UN 2424 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About UN 2424 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of UN 2424 during breastfeeding. Because of the extremely short elimination half-life of UN 2424 (<2 minutes) from the body, use of UN 2424 either as albumin microspheres or lipid microspheres is acceptable in nursing mothers.[1] Because of the lack of information, the American College of Radiology states that temporary (~24 hours) pumping and discarding of milk may be considered.[2] However, this recommendation appears to be excessively cautious.
