Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Carfilzomib usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of carfilzomib during breastfeeding. Because carfilzomib is 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during carfilzomib therapy.
