Trandolapril and breastfeeding

Full LactMed record for trandolapril: levels in milk, effects in breastfed infants, and the drugs it would consider insteadBecause no information is available on the use of trandolapril during breastfeeding, an alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

What people report to the FDA about trandolapril
The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 2,279 reports naming trandolapril, and the FDA flagged 87% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:
- dyspnoea151 reports
- fatigue130 reports
- dizziness125 reports
- diarrhoea116 reports
- asthenia103 reports
- cough102 reports
- nausea102 reports
- hypotension89 reports
Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean trandolapril caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions
Can you take trandolapril with other medicines?
It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run trandolapril against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.
What forms does trandolapril come in?
Across the brands we track, trandolapril is currently marketed as tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.
Is there a generic trandolapril?
We do not currently list a generic-labelled trandolapril product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
