Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the use of pegcetacoplan during breastfeeding. Since only a small dose in injected intravitreally into the eye, it is unlikely that a clinically relevant amount would reach the infant in breastmilk. With the systemic administration of pegcetacoplan, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during treatment and for 40 days after the last dose. An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
