Abemaciclib Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of abemaciclib during breastfeeding. Because abemaciclib and its metabolites are over 90% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during abemaciclib therapy and for 3 weeks after the final dose.
