Is it allowed to take Cetuximab during lactation? |
|
|
Drug is cleared from the body in 7 elimination half-lives. Resuming breastfeeding is likely safe after 60 days of pumping-and-dumping (But the higher molecular weight of this recombinant monoclonal antibody and its protein structure makes it secretion into breast milk and the absortion by gastrointestinal tract unlikely). |
