Answer by DrLact: About UNII-5K3UP561AX usage in lactation

Information in this record refers to the use of UNII-5K3UP561AX as a diagnostic agent. No information is available on the use of UNII-5K3UP561AX during breastfeeding. [1][2][3] Because of the long half-life of indium 111 and the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants, it is best to avoid the drug in women who wish to continue breastfeeding. If the drug is given, breastfeeding should be discontinued.
