Answer by DrLact: About UNII-GCU97FKN3R usage in lactation

UNII-GCU97FKN3R is rapidly converted to ganciclovir. Several factors might affect the decision to use UNII-GCU97FKN3R in a nursing mother. No information is available on the clinical use of ganciclovir or UNII-GCU97FKN3R during breastfeeding. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be transmitted to infants though breastmilk, with preterm and immunocompromised infants at greatest risk. No information is available on any changes in the risk of transmission if the mother is being treated with ganciclovir or UNII-GCU97FKN3R. Although the manufacturer recommends avoiding breastfeeding during UNII-GCU97FKN3R use because of the risk of infant drug toxicity, neonates with CMV infections are often treated directly with ganciclovir or UNII-GCU97FKN3R. If the mother has a concurrent infection with HIV, breastfeeding is not recommended in the United States and other developed countries.
