Is Xl 518 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Xl 518? Is Xl 518 safe for nursing mother and child? Does Xl 518 extracts into breast milk? Does Xl 518 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Xl 518 influence milk supply or can Xl 518 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Xl 518 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Xl 518 during breastfeeding. Because Xl 518 is 90% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 44 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Xl 518 therapy and for 2 weeks after the last dose.
