Is Alectinib Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Alectinib? Is Alectinib safe for nursing mother and child? Does Alectinib extracts into breast milk? Does Alectinib has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Alectinib influence milk supply or can Alectinib decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Alectinib usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of alectinib during breastfeeding. Because alectinib is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 33 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during alectinib therapy and for 1 week after the last dose.
