Does Cobimetinib has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Cobimetinib influence milk supply or can Cobimetinib decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Cobimetinib usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of cobimetinib during breastfeeding. Because cobimetinib is 90% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 44 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during cobimetinib therapy and for 2 weeks after the last dose.
