I am a breastfeeding mother and i want to know if it is safe to use Bivalirudin? Is Bivalirudin safe for nursing mother and child? Does Bivalirudin extracts into breast milk? Does Bivalirudin has any long term or short term side effects on infants? Can Bivalirudin influence milk supply or can Bivalirudin decrease milk supply in lactating mothers?
