Drug Levels and Effects

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the clinical use of ruxolitinib during breastfeeding. Because ruxolitinib is 97% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during ruxolitinib therapy and for 2 weeks after the last dose for the oral tablets and for 4 weeks after the last dose for the topical cream.
