Sotatercept Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the use of during breastfeeding. Because sotatercept is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 78,000 Da, the amount in milk is likely to be very low. It is also likely to be partially destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract and absorption by the infant is probably minimal. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during sotatercept therapy and for 4 months after the last dose.
