Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use SKI-606? Is SKI-606 safe for nursing mother and child? Does SKI-606 extracts into breast milk? Does SKI-606 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can SKI-606 influence milk supply or can SKI-606 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About SKI-606 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of SKI-606 during breastfeeding. Because SKI-606 is 96% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 22 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during SKI-606 therapy.
