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.
