Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 7931 usage in lactation

HSDB 7931 is a prodrug of sirolimus. Because no information is available on the use of HSDB 7931 or sirolimus during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during bevacizumab therapy and for 3 weeks following the last dose.
