Is Dabrafenib Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Dabrafenib? Is Dabrafenib safe for nursing mother and child? Does Dabrafenib extracts into breast milk? Does Dabrafenib has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Dabrafenib influence milk supply or can Dabrafenib decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Dabrafenib usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of dabrafenib during breastfeeding. Because dabrafenib 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 dabrafenib therapy and for 2 weeks after the last dose.
