Ambrisentan Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

No information is available on the use of ambrisentan during breastfeeding. Because ambrisentan is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during ambrisentan therapy. Ambrisentan and its active metabolite should be completely eliminated from milk in 3 days.
