Answer by DrLact: About Ferumoxytol non-stoichiometric magnetite usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of Ferumoxytol non-stoichiometric magnetite during breastfeeding; however, the drug has been given safely to neonates intravenously.[1][2][3] An alternate intravenous iron product with more published data on breastfeeding available may be preferred. Pasteurization of milk by the Holder method reduces the concentration of iron in milk by about 6.5%.[4]
