Everolimus

Limited compatibility

Unsafe. Moderate/severe adverse effects. Compatible under certain circumstances. Follow-up recommended. Use safer alternative or discontinue breastfeeding from 5 to 7 T ½ . Read Commentary.

On latest update relevant data on breastfeeding was not found.

Pharmacokinetic data (high molecular weight but low protein binding) indicates that drug excretion into breast milk would be moderately high. Low oral biodisponibility would be protective for breastfed children who are not newborn or premature.

Until new data is available nursing should be delayed for a 5-half lives period (150 hours - 6 to 7 days) after last intake.

Alternatives

  • Azathioprine (Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Ciclosporin (Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)
  • Tacrolimus (Safe substance and/or breastfeeding is the best option.)

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.
