HSDB 8085 is rapidly converted to ganciclovir. Several factors might affect the decision to use HSDB 8085 in a nursing mother. No information is available on the clinical use of ganciclovir or HSDB 8085 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 HSDB 8085. Although the manufacturer recommends avoiding breastfeeding during HSDB 8085 use because of the risk of infant drug toxicity, neonates with CMV infections are often treated directly with ganciclovir or HSDB 8085. If the mother has a concurrent infection with HIV, breastfeeding is not recommended in the United States and other developed countries.
