Answer by DrLact: About UNII-M03GIQ7Z6P usage in lactation

UNII-M03GIQ7Z6P is a synthetic octapeptide analogue of cholecystokinin. Because UNII-M03GIQ7Z6P 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 UNII-M03GIQ7Z6P 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.
