Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Cinqair? Is Cinqair safe for nursing mother and child? Does Cinqair extracts into breast milk? Does Cinqair has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Cinqair influence milk supply or can Cinqair decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Cinqair usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Cinqair during breastfeeding. Because Cinqair is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 147,000, absorption by the infant is unlikely after the first few weeks postpartum, and it will probably be destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Until more data become available, Cinqair should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
