Drug Levels and Effects

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of clascoterone during breastfeeding. However, because it is poorly absorbed from the skin and 84% to 89% protein bound, amounts in breastmilk are probably low and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Avoid application to the nipple area and ensure that the infant's skin does not come into direct contact with the areas of skin that have been treated.
