Anidulafungin Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the use of anidulafungin during breastfeeding. Because anidulafungin is >99% bound to plasma proteins and has poor oral bioavailability, it is unlikely to reach the milk and be absorbed by the infant. If anidulafungin is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding.
