Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use REGN727? Is REGN727 safe for nursing mother and child? Does REGN727 extracts into breast milk? Does REGN727 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can REGN727 influence milk supply or can REGN727 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About REGN727 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of REGN727 during breastfeeding. Because REGN727 is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 146,000, 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, REGN727 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
