Deucravacitinib use while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the use of deucravacitinib during breastfeeding. Because it is more than 80% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, it is well absorbed orally. If deucravacitinib is required by the mother of an older infant, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding, but until more data become available, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
