Answer by DrLact: About CCRIS 2083 usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of CCRIS 2083 during breastfeeding. Expert opinion indicates that due to the photosensitizing effects of CCRIS 2083, breastfeeding should be withheld for 24 hours after an oral dose to allow for 95% of the drug to be eliminated in the mother's urine.[1][2] The same precaution probably applies to patients receiving CCRIS 2083 as a part of therapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Use of topical CCRIS 2083 is not contraindicated during breastfeeding,[3][4] but avoid direct contact of the treated skin with the skin of the infant.
