Question

I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use LGX818? Is LGX818 safe for nursing mother and child? Does LGX818 extracts into breast milk? Does LGX818 has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can LGX818 influence milk supply or can LGX818 decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?

Answer by DrLact: About LGX818 usage in lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of LGX818 during breastfeeding. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during LGX818 therapy and for at least 2 weeks after the final dose.
