Background: Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) are expressed in milk. Experimental data indicate enhanced brain growth and cognitive development in the mouse offspring given milk deficient in TNF and TNF-dependent chemokines. Although monoclonal antibodies against TNF (TNFmAb) are used during breastfeeding due to minimal milk excretion, whether it affects endogenous TNF levels in human milk is unclear.

- Lactating mothers on ezetimibe may be reluctant to breastfeed due to uncertainties about its effects, as no existing data on the drug’s presence in breast milk have been available until now.* -
- Researchers collected breast milk samples from mothers taking ezetimibe to develop a method for measuring the drug and its metabolite, demonstrating low concentrations in the milk and predicting minimal exposure for breastfeeding infants.* -
- The study’s findings indicate that breastfed infants would receive negligible amounts of ezetimibe, suggesting breastfeeding remains safe; further research involving mother-infant pairs is recommended to confirm these results.*
