Ravulizumab Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the use of ravulizumab during breastfeeding. Because ravulizumab is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 148,000 Da, absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during ravulizumab therapy and for 8 months after the final dose.
