Answer by DrLact: About BIBR 953 usage in lactation
Preliminary data from 2 individuals indicate that BIBR 953 is poorly excreted into breastmilk. However, because it is orally absorbable and no information is available on the effet in breastfed infants, an alternate drug is preferred while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.[1][2][3]
