Ibandronate Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
IBecause no information is available on the use of ibandronate during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. However, absorption of ibandronate by a breastfed infant is unlikely.
Drug Levels
