Summary of use during lactation
No information is available on the use of dexrazoxane during breastfeeding. The manufacturer recommends that women not breastfeed during treatment and for 2 weeks following the final dose of dexrazoxane. However, because dexrazoxane is used with doxorubicin, the abstinence period might be longer, depending on the doxorubicin dose.
