Because of the very low milk levels with 5-18-04-00162 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) doses up to at least 12 mg daily, amounts ingested by the infant are small. No adverse reactions in breastfed infants have been reported from maternal 5-18-04-00162 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) use during lactation, even with a dose of 25 mg daily for 7 days. There is a consensus that maternal 5-18-04-00162 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) therapy during breastfeeding poses little risk to the breastfed infant.[1][2][3][4][5] No special precautions are necessary.

5-18-04-00162 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) Side Effects in Breastfeeding

No decreases in vitamin K-dependent clotting factors or bleeding occurred in 2 infants who were breastfed for 56 and 131 days, respectively, during maternal anticoagulation with 5-18-04-00162 (Beilstein Handbook Reference).[6] In one telephone follow-up study, mothers taking 5-18-04-00162 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) reported no adverse effects among 5 breastfed infants.[8] A mother had been taking 5-18-04-00162 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) 5 mg daily for the first 7 weeks postpartum for a pulmonary embolism. At this time, she began taking 25 mg daily by mistake and took this dose for 7 days. Upon presentation to the emergency room, her INR was greater than 10 (usual therapeutic maximum 3.5), her prothrombin time was greater than 100 seconds (normal up to 11.2 seconds), and her aPTT was 62.5 seconds (normal up to 32.7 seconds). She had been nearly exclusively breastfeeding her infant since birth. Her 8-week-old infant was healthy with an INR of 1.0, prothrombin time of 10.3 seconds, and a slightly elevated aPTT 33.8 seconds. However, 3 weeks previously, the infant's aPTT was 38.9 seconds, so the elevated aPTT was judged not to be caused by 5-18-04-00162 (Beilstein Handbook Reference).[9]
