PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Pregnancy
There are only insufficient animal studies on the effect of this medicinal product on pregnancy, embryo-foetal, prenatal and postnatal development. The possible risk for human beings is not known. The treating physician should decide about the use of this product during pregnancy after carefully weighing the risk-to-benefit ratio.
Lactation
Vitamins B1, B6 and B12 are secreted into human breast milk. High concentrations of vitamin B6 can inhibit the production of breast milk. Data on the extent of secretion into breast milk from animal studies are not available.
