Answer by DrLact: About BAY 81-8973 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of BAY 81-8973 (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, BAY 81-8973 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
