Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Blincyto? Is Blincyto safe for nursing mother and child? Does Blincyto extracts into breast milk? Does Blincyto has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Blincyto influence milk supply or can Blincyto decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Blincyto usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Blincyto during breastfeeding. Because Blincyto is a large protein molecule with a molecular weight of about 54,000 the amount in milk is likely to be very low and absorption is unlikely because it is probably destroyed in the infant's gastrointestinal tract. Until more data become available, Blincyto should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Blincyto therapy and for at least 48 hours after treatment.
