Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Axitinib usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of axitinib during breastfeeding. Because axitinib is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during axitinib therapy and for 2 weeks after the final dose of therapy.
