Is it allowed to take Ustekinumab during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Human-like monoclonal antibody IgG 1 that binds to Interleukins types 12 and 23. Used for treatment of severe Plaque Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis. Still under research for treatment of Crohn's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. At latest update, relevant published information on excretion into breast milk were not found. Because of a high molecular weight, excretion into breast milk in significant amount is highly unlikely. A low oral bioavailability makes absorption from the breast milk into infant's plasma to be seemingly nil or scanty, except for premature infants and in early post-natal period in which an increased absorption may occur.
