Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of nintedanib during breastfeeding. Because nintedanib is more than 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, its half-life is about 9.7 hours and it might accumulate in the infant. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during nintedanib therapy.
