Answer by DrLact: About Apraclonidina usage in lactation
No information is available on the use of Apraclonidina 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.
