No information is available on the use of rolapitant during breastfeeding. Because rolapitant and its metabolites are more than 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low; however, the binding of its major active metabolite is not known. If the mother requires rolapitant, it is not a reason to discontinue breastfeeding. However, consideration should be given to any chemotherapy the mother is receiving.
