Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of empagliflozin during breastfeeding. Empagliflozin is an uncharged molecule that is 86% protein bound in plasma, so it is unlikely to pass into breastmilk in clinically important amounts. The manufacturer does not recommend empagliflozin during breastfeeding because of a theoretical risk to the infant's developing kidney. An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
