Answer by DrLact: About MT-103 antibody usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of MT-103 antibody during breastfeeding. Because MT-103 antibody is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 54,000 the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Until more data become available, MT-103 antibody should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during MT-103 antibody therapy and for at least 48 hours after treatment.
