Does Emicizumab-kxwh has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Emicizumab-kxwh influence milk supply or can Emicizumab-kxwh decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Emicizumab-kxwh usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Emicizumab-kxwh during breastfeeding. Because Emicizumab-kxwh 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.
