- Our study of different scientific research indicates that L-Asparaginase from Escherichia coli may cause moderate to high side effects or may affect milk supply in lactating mother.
- Our suggestion is to use safer alternate options rather than using L-Asparaginase from Escherichia coli .
- Usage of L-Asparaginase from Escherichia coli is in contradiction to breastfeeding hence if it is must to use L-Asparaginase from Escherichia coli and there is no better alternative available then breastfeeding shall be stopped permanently or temporarily.

Drug is cleared from the body in 5 half-lives elimination period. Resuming breastfeeding is likely safe after 10 pump-and-dump days period. Pumping is important to keep milk production.
