Is Ceritinib Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Ceritinib? Is Ceritinib safe for nursing mother and child? Does Ceritinib extracts into breast milk? Does Ceritinib has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Ceritinib influence milk supply or can Ceritinib decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Ceritinib usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of ceritinib during breastfeeding. Because ceritinib is 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during ceritinib therapy and for 2 weeks after the final dose.
