Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 7789 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of HSDB 7789 during breastfeeding. Because HSDB 7789 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, HSDB 7789 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
