Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
No published information is available on the use of clopidogrel during breastfeeding. The manufacturer reports that no adverse effects have been observed in breastfed infants with maternal clopidogrel use during lactation in a small number of postmarketing cases. Since no published information is available on the use of clopidogrel during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If it is used by a nursing mother, monitor the infant for bruising and bleeding.
