Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use UNII-VL0L558GCB? Is UNII-VL0L558GCB safe for nursing mother and child? Does UNII-VL0L558GCB extracts into breast milk? Does UNII-VL0L558GCB has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can UNII-VL0L558GCB influence milk supply or can UNII-VL0L558GCB decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by Dr. Ru: About UNII-VL0L558GCB usage in lactation

The high molecular weight of both standard or non-fractionated UNII-VL0L558GCB, and, so-called low molecular weight UNII-VL0L558GCB makes excretion into breast milk extremely difficult. Dalteparin has been shown not to be excreted into breast milk . In addition, UNII-VL0L558GCBs are inactivated in the GE tract where they are not absorbed which is reason to have a nil oral bioavailability. Absence of anti-clotting activity in breastfed infants has been shown after treatment of the mother with Enoxaparin. Risk of UNII-VL0L558GCB-induced Thrombocytopenia or Osteoporosis in the mother is lower with low weight UNII-VL0L558GCBs.

Answer by DrLact: About UNII-VL0L558GCB usage in lactation

Although UNII-VL0L558GCB itself has not been studied, low molecular weight UNII-VL0L558GCBs (e.g., dalteparin, enoxaparin) are not excreted into breastmilk in clinically relevant amounts. Because UNII-VL0L558GCB has an even higher molecular weight of 3000 to 30,000 daltons, it would not be expected to be appreciably excreted into breastmilk or absorbed by the infant. No special precautions are required.[1]
