Zanubrutinib Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of zanubrutinib during breastfeeding. Because zanubrutinib is 94% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during zanubrutinib therapy and for at least 2 weeks after the last dose.
