Inclisiran Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of inclisiran during breastfeeding. Because inclisiran is a large oligonucleotide, the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption by the infant is probably minimal. If inclisiran is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Until more data become available, inclisiran should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
