Since the last update we have not found any published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Its high molecular weight makes transfer into breastmilk in significant quantities unlikely.
Due to its protein and glucidic nature it is digested in the intestine, so it has a low oral bioavailability (CECMED 2015), which hinders passage to infant plasma from breastmilk.
It has no side effects.
Its efficacy as an immunomodulator is not proven (Murciasalud 2006).
The literature on this drug is scarce and/or out-of-date, and it is sold in few countries.
It has zero or low therapeutic utility, and is totally non-essential.
