Answer by DrLact: About Blood clotting factor X usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Blood clotting factor X 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, Blood clotting factor X should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
