Answer by DrLact: About GW 572016 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of GW 572016 during breastfeeding. Because GW 572016 is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 24 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. It is also given in combination with capecitabine, which may increase the risk to the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during GW 572016 therapy.
