Does rhuMAb 2H7 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can rhuMAb 2H7 influence milk supply or can rhuMAb 2H7 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About rhuMAb 2H7 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of rhuMAb 2H7 during breastfeeding. Because rhuMAb 2H7 is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 148,000, 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, rhuMAb 2H7 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
