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

Synthetic recombinant protein formed by a sequence of amino acids that are identical to Human Tissue Plasminogen Activator (t-PA) which is found in colostrum and mature milk. A rapid metabolic rate and high molecular weight explains a less than probable excretion into breast milk. Even more, protein structure would impede gut absorption in the child with exception of the first post-partum week.
