What are recommendations for lactation if you're taking Ivosidenib?

No information is available on the clinical use of ivosidenib during breastfeeding. Because ivosidenib is 92 to 96% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 93 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during erlotinib therapy and for 1 month after the dose.
