    Procrit is not safe for pregnant women. This drug has severe and life-threatening side effects. It is only used for people with few medicinal options. It is not known if Procrit is passed through breast milk, however this is a possibility with anything that a mother ingests. Women taking Procrit should consult their doctors about birth control. If you have a baby, consider bottle feeding.
