Peginesatide and breastfeeding
From LactMed, the US National Library of Medicine’s Drugs and Lactation Database — quoted, not rewritten.
Full LactMed record for peginesatide: levels in milk, effects in breastfed infants, and the drugs it would consider insteadPeginesatide is no longer marketed in the US. No information is available on the clinical use of peginesatide during breastfeeding. Because of its large molecular weight of 4900 daltons, excretion into breastmilk should be minimal and it would not be expected to be absorbed from breastmilk by the infant. Polyethylene glycol is not excreted into breastmilk. However, until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take peginesatide with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run peginesatide against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What brand names is peginesatide sold under?
We track 2 peginesatide-containing products in the U.S.: Omontys and Omontys Preservative Free. They are the same active ingredient; they differ in form, manufacturer, price and FDA recall record.
What forms does peginesatide come in?
Across the brands we track, peginesatide is currently marketed as solution, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic peginesatide?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled peginesatide product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
