Answer by DrLact: About 1,4-Dihydroxy-5,8-bis(5-hydroxy-3-azapentylamino)anthrachinon usage in lactation

Most sources consider breastfeeding to be contraindicated during maternal antineoplastic drug therapy, such as 1,4-Dihydroxy-5,8-bis(5-hydroxy-3-azapentylamino)anthrachinon.[1][2] It might be possible to breastfeed safely during intermittent therapy with an appropriate period of breastfeeding abstinence, but the duration of abstinence is not clear. In one patient, 1,4-Dihydroxy-5,8-bis(5-hydroxy-3-azapentylamino)anthrachinon was still detectable in milk 28 days after a dose of 6 mg per square meter. Chemotherapy may adversely affect the normal microbiome and chemical makeup of breastmilk.[3] Women who receive chemotherapy during pregnancy are more likely to have difficulty nursing their infant.[4]

1,4-Dihydroxy-5,8-bis(5-hydroxy-3-azapentylamino)anthrachinon Side Effects in Breastfeeding

One mother received 3 daily doses of 6 mg/sq m of 1,4-Dihydroxy-5,8-bis(5-hydroxy-3-azapentylamino)anthrachinon intravenously along with 5 daily doses of etoposide 80 mg/sq m and cytarabine 170 mg/sq m intravenously. She resumed breastfeeding her infant 3 weeks after the third dose of 1,4-Dihydroxy-5,8-bis(5-hydroxy-3-azapentylamino)anthrachinon at a time when 1,4-Dihydroxy-5,8-bis(5-hydroxy-3-azapentylamino)anthrachinon was still detectable in milk. The infant had no apparent abnormalities at 16 months of age.[3]
