Is Caprelsa Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Caprelsa? Is Caprelsa safe for nursing mother and child? Does Caprelsa extracts into breast milk? Does Caprelsa has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Caprelsa influence milk supply or can Caprelsa decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About Caprelsa usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of Caprelsa during breastfeeding. Because Caprelsa is 90% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is 19 days and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Caprelsa therapy and for 4 months after the last dose.
