Since it is not known whether Acthar is excreted in nursing milk, the doctor may recommend that the nursing mother either discontinue nursing or discontinue therapy.

It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from Acthar, when treating a nursing mother, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, considering the risk and benefit to the mother.
