Is Unituxin Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Unituxin? Is Unituxin safe for nursing mother and child? Does Unituxin extracts into breast milk? Does Unituxin has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Unituxin influence milk supply or can Unituxin decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Unituxin usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Unituxin during breastfeeding. Because Unituxin is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 150,000, 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, Unituxin should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Unituxin therapy.
