Is Hemlibra Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Hemlibra? Is Hemlibra safe for nursing mother and child? Does Hemlibra extracts into breast milk? Does Hemlibra has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Hemlibra influence milk supply or can Hemlibra decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Hemlibra usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Hemlibra during breastfeeding. Because Hemlibra is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 145,600, 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.
