Answer by DrLact: About S-Telaprevir usage in lactation
S-Telaprevir 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 S-Telaprevir not breastfeed their infants.
