Answer by DrLact: About 4-Aminoclonidine usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of 4-Aminoclonidine during breastfeeding. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.
