来迪派韦

Low Risk

Possibly safe. Probably compatible. Mild risk possible. Follow up recommended. Read the Comment.

Usually used in combination with sofosbuvir in the treatment of hepatitis C.

Since the last update we have not found published data on its excretion in breast milk.

Its pharmacokinetic data (high molecular weight and very high percentage of plasma protein binding) make it very unlikely that significant amounts will pass into breast milk, so that, although there is disagreement (Thompson 2016), some authors consider that treatment with ledispavir, alone or in combination with sofosbuvir is not contraindicated during breastfeeding (Spera 2016).

  • Maternal Hepatitis C Infection ( Safe. Compatible. Minimal risk for breastfeeding and infant.)
  • Sofosbuvir (Possibly safe. Probably compatible. Mild risk possible. Follow up recommended. Read the Comment.)

Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
