Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Duvelisib usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of duvelisib during breastfeeding. Because duvelisib is 98% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, because of its potential toxicity in the breastfed infant, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during duvelisib therapy and for at least 1 month after the last dose.
