Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Anthim usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Anthim during breastfeeding. Because Anthim is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 148,000, 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, Anthim should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
