Answer by Dr. Ru: About HSDB 7842 usage in lactation

Inhibitor of BCR-ABL and SRC tyrosine kinase that is used for treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia with positive Philadelphia chromosome. At latest update, relevant published data on excretion into breast milk were not found. Because of high serum protein-binding capacity, excretion into breast milk in significant amount is seemingly unlikely. If continuation of safely breastfeeding is desired without assuming high risk for potentially severe side-effects, elimination of total burden of drug should be kept. For this to happen, it should be wait for 10 half-lives (T ½). It means that 7 days should be waited before resuming breastfeeding. Meanwhile, frequent pump-and-dump is recommended for maintenance of milk production.

Answer by DrLact: About HSDB 7842 usage in lactation

Although the amount of HSDB 7842 in milk appears to be small and one breastfed infants apparently experienced no adverse effects during maternal use of HSDB 7842, no long-term data are available. Because HSDB 7842 is 98% bound to plasma proteins, the amounts in milk are likely to be low. However, there is little published experience with HSDB 7842 during breastfeeding, and an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during HSDB 7842 therapy and for 14 days after the last dose.
