Information in this record refers to the use of UNII-O181101B5G as a therapeutic agent. No information is available on the use of UNII-O181101B5G during breastfeeding. The European Association of Nuclear Medicine recommends using other modalities to treat polycythemia vera and essential thrombocytopenia in patients under 60 to 65 years of age and states that the drug is contraindicated in nursing mothers.[1] If a nursing mother is given UNII-O181101B5G systemically, breastfeeding should be discontinued permanently for this child.
