Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category C. Clonidine should only be given during pregnancy if the benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus. Careful monitoring of mother and child is recommended. Clonidine passes the placental barrier and may decrease the heart rate of the fetus. Post-partum, a transient increase in blood pressure in the newborn, cannot be excluded. If needed during pregnancy, the oral forms of clonidine should be preferred; the intravenous injection of clonidine should be avoided.
Lactation: Due to lack of information, clonidine is not recommended during breastfeeding.
