Answer by DrLact: About Koate HS usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Koate HS (coagulation factor VIII) during breastfeeding. Because it is a large protein molecule, 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, Koate HS should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
