Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the use of roflumilast in nursing mothers. The drug and its metabolite are more than 97% bound to plasma proteins, so amounts in milk are likely to be very low. However, the manufacturer and some experts recommend that the oral drug should not be used by women who are nursing.[1]
