Berotralstat Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

Berotralstat is a plasma kallikrein inhibitor indicated for prophylaxis to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema. No information is available on the excretion of berotralstat into breastmilk. Because berotralstat is about 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amounts in milk are likely to be very low. If berotralstat is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. Until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
