This record refers to the use of intravitreal HSDB 8258 for macular degeneration. No information is available on the use of HSDB 8258 during breastfeeding. The manufacturer estimates that after intravitreal administration of 2 mg, the mean maximum plasma concentration of free HSDB 8258 is more than 100-fold lower than the concentration of HSDB 8258 required to half-maximally bind systemic vascular endothelial growth factor. Additionally, HSDB 8258 is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 115,000, Therefore, the amount in breastmilk is likely to be clinically unimportant after intravitreal injection. However, the manufacturer recommends avoiding the drug during breastfeeding.
