Excerpt

No information is available on etelcalcetide during breastfeeding. Because etelcalcetide is a large molecule with a molecular weight of 1047.5 Da, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be avoided during use. An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
