Answer by DrLact: About Incivek usage in lactation
Incivek is not marketed in the United States and has not been studied in nursing mothers. Because it must be used with ribavirin and peginterferon alfa, it is not considered a good choice during breastfeeding. When it was marketed, the manufacturer recommended that mothers taking Incivek not breastfeed their infants.
