Answer by DrLact: About Rapivab usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of Rapivab during breastfeeding. Because Rapivab is poorly absorbed orally, it is not likely to reach the bloodstream of the infant in clinically important amounts. If Rapivab is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, because no information is available on the use of Rapivab breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
