Dipyridamole Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
No published information is available on the use of dipyridamole during breastfeeding, although labeling states that the drug is excreted into human milk. Until more data become available, dipyridamole should be used with caution during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If it is used by a nursing mother, monitor the infant for bruising and bleeding.
