Clonidine hydrochloride (Catapres®, Catapres-TTS®, Duraclon®) passes through breast milk in humans. It is a prescription medication that can lower both blood pressure and heart rate. This drug could potentially cause problems in a breastfed infant. Therefore, you should talk with your healthcare provider before taking clonidine if you are nursing or plan to start.
