Resumo

Cladribine is an antimetabolite used for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. At present, there are no data available on its use in breastfeeding mothers and its transfer in human milk.We present a case of a lactating mother who donated her milk samples to study the transfer of cladribine following a 20-mg oral dose.Analysis was done using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.The relative infant dose calculated in this study was 3.06%.This is the first case report suggesting the transfer of cladribine in human milk in measurable quantities. However, caution should be advised during lactation.
