Answer by DrLact: About Incivo usage in lactation
Incivo 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 Incivo not breastfeed their infants.
