C3160 H4848 N898 O881 S12

Likely Compatibility

Fairly safe. Mild or unlikely adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Read Commentary.

Recombinant-type of alfa-L-iduronidase that is used in enzyme replacement therapy in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I).
Intravenous administration once a week.

Its high molecular weight explains the null passage observed in the milk of a nursing mother who had received weekly doses of Laronidase for three months, while she was breastfeeding. No physical or developmental problems in infants in the short or long term were observed (Castorina 2015).

Due to its protein nature, it is inactivated in the gastrointestinal tract, and is not absorbed, (it has virtually no oral bioavailability), which hinders or prevents its transfer from breastmilk to infant plasma.

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
