Can Clonidine be safely prescribed during pregnancy or breastfeeding? What precautions are needed to protect both the mother and child?
Clonidine should only be used in pregnancy if absolutely necessary, as it crosses the placenta and can affect the fetus. Close monitoring is essential.
During breastfeeding, caution is advised with Clonidine as it is excreted in milk and could impact the nursing infant. Monitoring of the baby for adverse effects is recommended.
