Question

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

Answer by DrLact: About Nerlynx usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of Nerlynx during breastfeeding. Because Nerlynx 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 Nerlynx therapy.
