Aclidinium Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding

Summary of Use during Lactation

Although no published data exist on the use of aclidinium during breastfeeding, it produces low maternal serum levels because of rapid hydrolysis to inactive metabolites. The risk to the breastfed infant of maternal aclidinium inhalation is small. Breastfeeding can be continued during aclidinium therapy.[1]
