Is Lenvatinib Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Lenvatinib? Is Lenvatinib safe for nursing mother and child? Does Lenvatinib extracts into breast milk? Does Lenvatinib has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Lenvatinib influence milk supply or can Lenvatinib decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Lenvatinib usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of lenvatinib during breastfeeding. Because lenvatinib is more than 98% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 28 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during lenvatinib therapy and for 1 week after the last dose.
