Is HKI 272 Safe in Breastfeeding
Question
I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use HKI 272? Is HKI 272 safe for nursing mother and child? Does HKI 272 extracts into breast milk? Does HKI 272 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can HKI 272 influence milk supply or can HKI 272 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
Answer by DrLact: About HKI 272 usage in lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of HKI 272 during breastfeeding. Because HKI 272 and its metabolite are over 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during HKI 272 therapy.
