Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Tagrisso? Is Tagrisso safe for nursing mother and child? Does Tagrisso extracts into breast milk? Does Tagrisso has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Tagrisso influence milk supply or can Tagrisso decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Tagrisso usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Tagrisso during breastfeeding. Because Tagrisso 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 Tagrisso therapy and for 2 weeks after the final dose.
