Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use NVP-LDE225? Is NVP-LDE225 safe for nursing mother and child? Does NVP-LDE225 extracts into breast milk? Does NVP-LDE225 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can NVP-LDE225 influence milk supply or can NVP-LDE225 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About NVP-LDE225 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of NVP-LDE225 during breastfeeding. Because NVP-LDE225 is 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 28 days and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during NVP-LDE225 therapy.
