I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Peginesatide? Is Peginesatide safe for nursing mother and child? Does Peginesatide extracts into breast milk? Does Peginesatide has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Peginesatide influence milk supply or can Peginesatide decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
No information is available on the clinical use of peginesatide during breastfeeding. Because of its large molecular weight of 4900 daltons, excretion into breastmilk should be minimal and it would not be expected to be absorbed from breastmilk by the infant. If peginesatide is required by the mother of an older infant, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
