Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Ninlaro usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Ninlaro during breastfeeding. Because its half-life is about 9.5 days, it is likely to accumulate in the infant. It is also given in combination with leflunomide and dexamethasone, which may increase the risk to the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Ninlaro therapy and for 90 days after the last dose.
