Glatiramer

PMID: 30000226

Abstract:

Glatiramer is the active portion of the drug, glatiramer acetate. No information is available on the excretion of glatiramer acetate into breastmilk. However, data from the manufacturer indicates that after subcutaneous injection, glatiramer undergoes rapid degradation to amino acids and shorter peptides and that it cannot be detected in the plasma, urine or feces.[1] Furthermore, any glatiramer that did reach the breastmilk would probably be destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract and not absorbed, except perhaps in neonates. Limited information indicates that maternal use of glatiramer acetate does not cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Glatiramer acetate is generally considered safe by most experts and appears to be one of the preferred disease-modifying agents for treating multiple sclerosis during breastfeeding.[2-5]
