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

Answer by DrLact: About PEG-PAL usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of PEG-PAL-pqpz during breastfeeding. Absorption of the drug by the infant from breastmilk is unlikely because it is a polypeptide that is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. PEG-PAL-pqpz may decrease the phenylalanine content of breastmilk. The manufacturer recommends monitoring blood phenylalanine concentrations in breastfeeding women treated with PEG-PAL-pqpz.
