Answer by DrLact: About Ro 24-7375 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Ro 24-7375 during breastfeeding. Because Ro 24-7375 is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 144,000, 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, Ro 24-7375 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Some authors recommend avoiding breastfeeding with Ro 24-7375.[1][2]
