Summary of use during lactation
No information is available on the excretion of donidalorsen into breastmilk. Because donidalorsen has a molecular weight of 9112 Da and is over 98% bound to plasma proteins, the amounts in milk are likely to be low. It is also likely to be partially destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract and absorption by the infant is probably minimal. But its half-life is long, so it could accumulate in the infant. If donidalorsen is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
