Is R-Ruxolitinib Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use R-Ruxolitinib? Is R-Ruxolitinib safe for nursing mother and child? Does R-Ruxolitinib extracts into breast milk? Does R-Ruxolitinib has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can R-Ruxolitinib influence milk supply or can R-Ruxolitinib decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About R-Ruxolitinib usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of R-Ruxolitinib during breastfeeding. Because R-Ruxolitinib is 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during R-Ruxolitinib therapy and for 2 weeks after the last dose.
