Is ZD1839 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use ZD1839? Is ZD1839 safe for nursing mother and child? Does ZD1839 extracts into breast milk? Does ZD1839 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can ZD1839 influence milk supply or can ZD1839 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About ZD1839 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of ZD1839 during breastfeeding. Because ZD1839 is 90% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 48 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during ZD1839 therapy.
