Excerpt

Information from 3 patients on the excretion of mycophenolate into milk is inconsistent. A few infants have reportedly been breastfed during mycophenolate therapy, with no adverse effects reported. Because little information is available on the use of mycophenolate during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
