Answer by DrLact: About Bendamustina usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of Bendamustina during breastfeeding. Most sources consider breastfeeding to be contraindicated during maternal antineoplastic drug therapy, especially alkylating agents such as Bendamustina.[1] The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during Bendamustina therapy. Based on the half-life of the drug and its metabolites, the drug should be eliminated from the milk by 24-48 hours after the last dose.
