Hormone which is produced by the Thyroid gland as a polypeptide consisting of 32 amino acids that is used in the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone diseases and calcium metabolism.It is a natural component of breast milk as well as its predecessor, Procalcitonin, which is found in higher amount in milk than in plasma.Calcitonin levels increase during pregnancy and lactation.It has no effect on Prolactin and other Pituitary Hormones. Pharmacokinetic data (high molecular weight and rapid metabolism: Tmax and T1 / 2 short) makes it unlikely an excretion into breast milk in significant amounts. Because of a protein nature it is inactivated in the GI tract and hence not absorbed, so that their oral bioavailability is negligible, being unlikely any passage to the infant plasma, from ingested milk. An infant whose mother was treated with calcitonin every other day (plus azathioprine, warfarin, prednisone, acetaminophen, calcitriol, calcium and vitamins E and C) showed no problems after one year of lactation.

Little information is available on the clinical use of calcitonin during breastfeeding; however, calcitonin is a normal component of human milk where may play a role in development of enteric neurons in the breastfed infant.[1][2][3] Because it is a large peptide, absorption by the infant is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. If calcitonin is required by the mother, it is not a necessarily reason to discontinue breastfeeding Calcitonin therapy is sometimes used to treat symptomatic postpartum osteoporosis, which is often treated in part by stopping lactation to reduce calcium loss.[4][5] There is no evidence that exogenous calcitonin decreases serum prolactin or lactation in nursing mothers.
Due to high dilution of ingredients in homeopathic medicines they do not create much problem for baby. Viatrexx-muskelneural | Anti-interleukin-1.alpha. Injection is a homeopathic medicine and if your baby does not have any abnormal symptoms then there is nothing to worry about. Be careful with too much usage of ethanol based homeopathic medicines during breastfeeding.
Homeopathic medicines are usually safe in breastfeeding and if Viatrexx-muskelneural | Anti-interleukin-1.alpha. Injection has been recommended by doctor then there should be no concern about its usage in breastfeeding.
