CysticFibrosisMama,
Orkambi is a combination drug of lumacaftor and ivacaftor. The half-life of lumacaftor is approximately 26 hours in patients with CF. The half-life of ivacaftor when given with lumacaftor is approximately 9 hours. Dr Hale recommends having a monthly liver panel on the infant and regular eye exams to check for cataracts.
Dr Hale would love to do a case study with your breast milk. If interested in the study please call the InfantRiskCenter at 806-352-2519, all it will cost is a little of your breast milk and it will help other mothers down the road.
Thanks,
Sandra Lovato R.N.
