Answer by DrLact: About EC 200-941-9 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of EC 200-941-9 during breastfeeding. Because of the extremely short elimination half-life of EC 200-941-9 (<2 minutes) from the body, use of EC 200-941-9 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.
