Answer by Dr. Ru: About Clonixin usage in lactation

A fecha de última actualización no encontramos datos publicados sobre su excreción en leche materna. Sus datos farmacocinéticos (elevado porcentaje de fijación a proteínas y corta vida media) hacen poco probable el paso a leche de cantidades significativas. Hasta conocer más datos publicados sobre este fármaco en relación con la lactancia, pueden ser preferibles alternativas conocidas más seguras, especialmente durante el periodo neonatal y en caso de prematuridad.
