Answer by DrLact: About EINECS 246-639-0 usage in lactation

EINECS 246-639-0 is a synthetic octapeptide analogue of cholecystokinin. Because EINECS 246-639-0 has a molecular weight of 1143, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and oral absorption by the infant is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. The serum half-life of EINECS 246-639-0 is less than 2 minutes, indicating that withholding breastfeeding for 10 minutes after a dose should ensure that the infant is not exposed to the drug.
