Answer by DrLact: About BMN 165 usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of BMN 165-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. BMN 165-pqpz may decrease the phenylalanine content of breastmilk. The manufacturer recommends monitoring blood phenylalanine concentrations in breastfeeding women treated with BMN 165-pqpz.
