Sonidegib Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of sonidegib during breastfeeding. Because sonidegib is 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 28 days and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during sonidegib therapy.
