Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Xalkori? Is Xalkori safe for nursing mother and child? Does Xalkori extracts into breast milk? Does Xalkori has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Xalkori influence milk supply or can Xalkori decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Xalkori usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Xalkori during breastfeeding. Because Xalkori is 91% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 42 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Xalkori therapy and for 45 days after the last dose.
