Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use 90Y-Zevalin? Is 90Y-Zevalin safe for nursing mother and child? Does 90Y-Zevalin extracts into breast milk? Does 90Y-Zevalin has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can 90Y-Zevalin influence milk supply or can 90Y-Zevalin decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About 90Y-Zevalin usage in lactation

Information in this record refers to the use of 90Y-Zevalin as a therapeutic agent. No information is available on the use of 90Y-Zevalin during breastfeeding. Because of the long half-life of yttrium 90, the manufacturer and expert opinion recommend not administering the drug in women who wish to continue breastfeeding.[1] If the drug is administered to a nursing mother, breastfeeding should be discontinued. No restrictions on holding the infant after administration of the drug are necessary.[2]
