Answer by DrLact: About Bydureon usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Bydureon during breastfeeding. Because Bydureon is a large peptide molecule with a molecular weight of 4187 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. It has a short half-life, which might make it a better choice among drugs in this class for nursing mothers. Until more data become available, Bydureon should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
