Answer by DrLact: About BIBW 2992 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of BIBW 2992 during breastfeeding. Because BIBW 2992 is about 95% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 37 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during BIBW 2992 therapy and for 2 weeks after the last dose.
