I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Bydureon Pen? Is Bydureon Pen safe for nursing mother and child? Does Bydureon Pen extracts into breast milk? Does Bydureon Pen has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Bydureon Pen influence milk supply or can Bydureon Pen decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the clinical use of Bydureon Pen during breastfeeding. Because Bydureon Pen 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 Pen should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
