Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Ribociclib usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of ribociclib during breastfeeding. Because protein binding of ribociclib is 70%, clinically important amounts of the drug might pass into breastmilk. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during ribociclib therapy and for at least 3 weeks after the final dose.
