Is Nucala Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Nucala? Is Nucala safe for nursing mother and child? Does Nucala extracts into breast milk? Does Nucala has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Nucala influence milk supply or can Nucala decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Nucala usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Nucala during breastfeeding. Because Nucala is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 149,000, 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, Nucala should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
