Pegademase Bovine Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of pegademase bovine during breastfeeding. Because it is a large protein molecule, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Polyethylene glycol is not excreted into breastmilk.[1]
