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.
Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.
Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.

Semaglutide is an incretin hormone analog used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Weekly subcutaneous administration.
At the date of the last update, there was no published data available on its excretion in human milk.
Its high molecular weight and high fixation to plasma proteins make it very unlikely to pass into mothers’ milk in a clinically significant quantity. (Serrano 2015)
In addition, due to its protein nature it is inactivated in the gastrointestinal tract, not being absorbed (practically null oral bioavailability), which hinders or prevents the passage into plasma of the infant from ingested breast milk (Serrano 2015), except in premature infants and during the immediate neonatal period, in which there may be greater intestinal permeability.
Diet, exercise, and breastfeeding improve blood sugar levels.
