Study Details
Rivaroxaban Transfer into Human Milk After Childbirth
(IRB#: IRB_00167245)
Right after a female gives birth to a baby the female could need to take a blood thinner medication for their health. The study will test to see if giving a female right after the birth of their baby a low dose of rivaroxaban (a common blood thinner) medication by mouth passes into human milk. The information will help to better understand if rivaroxaban can be used by the female when breastfeeding a baby. Being in the study requires females who are NOT or will STOP breastfeeding or pumping breastmilk to take two low doses of the rivaroxaban (24 hours apart) by mouth. Then the breastmilk and blood samples will be collected. The study will test the samples to see if rivaroxaban passes into human milk, and if so, at what amount. Participants will be paid for being in the study.
