Is Cometriq Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Cometriq? Is Cometriq safe for nursing mother and child? Does Cometriq extracts into breast milk? Does Cometriq has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Cometriq influence milk supply or can Cometriq decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Cometriq usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Cometriq during breastfeeding. Because Cometriq is more than 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life ranges from 55 to 99 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Cometriq therapy and for 4 months after the last dose.
