Answer by DrLact: About BMS224818 usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of BMS224818 during breastfeeding. The manufacturer recommends avoiding nursing if BMS224818 is given. Because the drug's half-life is 8 to 10 days, it may be more than a month after a dose before the drug is absent from breastmilk.
