Does Dacomitinib has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Dacomitinib influence milk supply or can Dacomitinib decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Dacomitinib usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of dacomitinib during breastfeeding. Because dacomitinib is 98% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, because of its potential toxicity in the breastfed infant and its half-life of 70 hours, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during dacomitinib therapy and for at least 17 days after the last dose.
