Answer by DrLact: About Mereletinib usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Mereletinib during breastfeeding. Because Mereletinib is 95% 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 Mereletinib therapy and for 2 weeks after the final dose.
