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