Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Neratanib? Is Neratanib safe for nursing mother and child? Does Neratanib extracts into breast milk? Does Neratanib has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Neratanib influence milk supply or can Neratanib decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About Neratanib usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of neratanib during breastfeeding. Because neratanib and its metabolite are over 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during neratanib therapy.
