8.3 Nursing Mothers
Studies with omega-3-acid ethyl esters have demonstrated excretion in human milk. The
effect of this excretion on the infant of a nursing mother is unknown; caution should be exercised
when VASCEPA is administered to a nursing mother. An animal study in lactating rats given
oral gavage 14C-ethyl EPA demonstrated that drug levels were 6 to 14 times higher in milk than
in plasma.
