Binimetinib Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of binimetinib during breastfeeding. Because binimetinib is 97% bound to plasma proteins, and the half-life of the drug is 3.5 hours, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during binimetinib therapy and for at least 3 days after the final dose. For patients taking the combination with encorafenib, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during binimetinib therapy and for at least 2 weeks after the final dose.
