Answer by DrLact: About Phenprocoumonum [INN-Latin] usage in lactation

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