I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use AVE 0010? Is AVE 0010 safe for nursing mother and child? Does AVE 0010 extracts into breast milk? Does AVE 0010 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can AVE 0010 influence milk supply or can AVE 0010 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About AVE 0010 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of AVE 0010 during breastfeeding. Because AVE 0010 is a large peptide molecule with a molecular weight of 4858 daltons, 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, AVE 0010 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
