I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Lomitapide? Is Lomitapide safe for nursing mother and child? Does Lomitapide extracts into breast milk? Does Lomitapide has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Lomitapide influence milk supply or can Lomitapide decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Lomitapide usage in lactation

No relevant published information exists with the use of lomitapide during breastfeeding. Because of a concern with disruption of infant lipid metabolism and possible tumorigenicity, lomitapide should not be used during breastfeeding.
