Effects on milk supply
Three women were given intravitreal injections of conbercept 0.05 mg in one eye to treat choroidal neovascularization. VEGF levels were measured in breastmilk after one injection. Two of the women had no decrease in breastmilk VEGF. The third woman had a decrease in her milk VEGF level on day 7 after the injection, from 1.72 ng/mL to 1.42 ng/mL, a decrease of 15%. Over the following 3 weeks, the VEGF level increased to the baseline value.[ 2 ]
