Is Imbruvica Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Imbruvica? Is Imbruvica safe for nursing mother and child? Does Imbruvica extracts into breast milk? Does Imbruvica has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Imbruvica influence milk supply or can Imbruvica decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Imbruvica usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Imbruvica during breastfeeding. Because Imbruvica is more than 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Imbruvica therapy.
