Ticagrelor Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No published information is available on the use of ticagrelor during breastfeeding. Because ticagrelor and its active metabolite are more than 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. However, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If it is used by a nursing mother, monitor the infant for bruising and bleeding.
