Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Praluent? Is Praluent safe for nursing mother and child? Does Praluent extracts into breast milk? Does Praluent has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Praluent influence milk supply or can Praluent decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Praluent usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Praluent during breastfeeding. Because Praluent 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, Praluent should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
