5-18-02-00343 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) is not approved for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Limited information indicates that anticoagulant maternal doses of 5-18-02-00343 (Beilstein Handbook Reference) produce low levels in milk. Until more data are available, shorter-acting anticoagulants are preferred, especially if the infant is younger than 2 months.
