Is Letermovir Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Letermovir? Is Letermovir safe for nursing mother and child? Does Letermovir extracts into breast milk? Does Letermovir has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Letermovir influence milk supply or can Letermovir decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Letermovir usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of letermovir during breastfeeding. Because letermovir is 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be very low. If letermovir is required by the mother, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
