A member asked:
What is risk of warfarin if breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Small risk: Coumadin (warfarin) is an anticoagulant. Because of its high protein binding in the maternal circulation, very small amounts are secreted into breastmilk. It is still wise to use caution when using this medication whether or not you breastfeed your infant; your physicians will evaluate any special circumstances that may relate to your medical conditions.
