Is Bosulif Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Bosulif? Is Bosulif safe for nursing mother and child? Does Bosulif extracts into breast milk? Does Bosulif has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Bosulif influence milk supply or can Bosulif decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Bosulif usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Bosulif during breastfeeding. Because Bosulif 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 Bosulif therapy.
