Pregnancy Breastfeeding And Fertility While Taking Edoxaban

NHS medicines information on edoxaban and whether you can take it while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Edoxaban and pregnancy

Edoxaban should not be taken during pregnancy.

If you take edoxaban and are planning to get pregnant or you become pregnant while taking it, speak to your doctor or specialist. You will need to be changed to a different medicine.

Edoxaban and breastfeeding

Edoxaban is not usually recommended while breastfeeding as there is not enough information to show that it's safe.

Speak to your doctor about other medicines you can use while breastfeeding.

Edoxaban and fertility

There's no evidence to suggest that taking edoxaban reduces fertility in either men or women.

Speak to a pharmacist or your doctor if you're trying to get pregnant.
