Answer by DrLact: About Cardigox usage in lactation
Because of the low levels of Cardigox in breastmilk, amounts ingested by the infant are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. If the mother is to receive Cardigox intravenously, avoidance of breastfeeding for 2 hours after the dose will lessen the dose the infant receives.
