Excerpt

No information is available on the clinical use of raxibacumab during breastfeeding. Because raxibacumab is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of 146,000 Da, the amount in milk is likely to be very low.[1] It is also likely to be partially destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract and absorption by the infant is probably minimal.[2] Until more data become available, raxibacumab should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
