Is Tafinlar Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Tafinlar? Is Tafinlar safe for nursing mother and child? Does Tafinlar extracts into breast milk? Does Tafinlar has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Tafinlar influence milk supply or can Tafinlar decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Tafinlar usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Tafinlar during breastfeeding. Because Tafinlar is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Tafinlar therapy and for 2 weeks after the last dose.
