Is ITCA 650 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use ITCA 650? Is ITCA 650 safe for nursing mother and child? Does ITCA 650 extracts into breast milk? Does ITCA 650 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can ITCA 650 influence milk supply or can ITCA 650 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About ITCA 650 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of ITCA 650 during breastfeeding. Because ITCA 650 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, ITCA 650 should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
