In mice, reproduction studies with systemic nitrofurazone induced a low frequency of limb reduction defects in one study (3,4), but not in another (3). Two studies, one in 1984 and one in 1988, both involving women treated for gestational trophoblastic neoplasms, have analyzed reproductive function after methotrexate therapy and are described below (41,46). Other defects included a globose heart, partial subaortic stenosis, mesentery commune, and a significantly increased length of the sigmoid colon. Until additional data are forthcoming, rifapentine is best avoided during the 1st trimester. Intrauterine hypothyroidism due to antithyroid-drug therapy for thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy. As discussed above, Riluzole impaired fertility when administered to male and female rats (1). If levorphanol is used in pregnancy, healthcare professionals are encouraged to call the toll-free number (800-670-6126) for information about patient enrollment in the Motherisk study. Moreover, follow-up of the children, with >80% of the group >5 years of age (the oldest was 25 years), revealed normal development. In another 1974 national survey cited above, the congenital abnormality rates (all skin anomalies were excluded) in the groups (unexposed vs. Serial milk samples were drawn for 10 days with olanzapine concentrations ranging from 7. The malformations were anencephaly (one case), hydrocephalus (two cases), limb malformations (four cases), renal tract defects (one case), and congenital hip dislocation (one case) (11). She gave birth at 33 weeks to a male infant with dysplastic left kidney, a missing kidney, severe hypospadias, a missing right testicle, and a poorly descended left testicle. Congenital abnormalities in Brazilian children associated with misoprostol misuse in first trimester of pregnancy. The molecular weight is high (about 83,000), suggesting that the glycoprotein will not cross to the embryo or fetus. However, some absorption should be expected when it is used topically for burns or as bladder irrigation. Treatment began at approximately a mean gestational age of 18 weeks (range 13­24 weeks). Rosiglitazone is not an insulin secretagogue, but acts to decrease insulin resistance in the periphery and in the liver. Other rat studies have also demonstrated that naltrexone can modify behavior of both the mother and the offspring (8­10). The iodine in this agent is organically bound, but the formulations may contain some free iodine either from contamination or from deiodination. However, the effects of the neurohormone during this period are thought primarily to involve melatonin of maternal origin (2). Accidental natalizumab administration to the third trimester of pregnancy in an adolescent patient with multiple sclerosis. Metformin, pre-eclampsia, and pregnancy outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. In 2006, the manufacturer reported the findings of a retrospective cohort study using United States United Healthcare data (2). Two mothers, treated with metronidazole during the 5th­7th weeks of gestation for amebiasis, gave birth to infants with midline facial defects (29). In male and female rats, the highest dose had no effect on fertility or reproductive performance (1). Blood urea was decreased below normal adult levels in pregnant women and even lower in patients with hyperemesis. Because no pattern of malformations has emerged from these reports, it appears that these malformations were not associated with the drug therapy. The rate of major birth defects, spontaneous abortions, and median birth weight did not differ significantly between the exposed and matched control groups, 3. The dose was changed to 2 mg every evening on day 7 and then to 3 mg every evening on day 10. The Collaborative Perinatal Project monitored 50,282 mother­child pairs, 76 of whom were exposed to nitrous oxide during the 1st trimester (76). It is also used in combination with amoxicillin and/or clarithromycin for Helicobacter pylori eradication to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence.

Compared with controls, the administration of praziquantel and ivermectin (another anthelmintic agent) to possums at 8- to 10-week intervals throughout the breeding season to the time of emergence of young from the pouch had no significant effect on the number of births or survival of the young to emergence (7). There were 61 birth defects (22 in the 1st trimester and 39 in the 2nd/3rd trimesters). Because the primary means of removal of the drug is renal, impairment of this system in the newborn prevents elimination of the drug resulting in prolonged hypotension. Of 88 prospectively ascertained pregnancies, conception occurred in 77 within 60 days of the last dose of the drug. However, it was concluded that this was enough to mask the symptoms of the disease without halting its progression (13). However, because most of the studies involved parenteral administration, the findings cannot be used to assess the degree of human risk (2). A brief 1996 communication included data obtained from a manufacturer (the Roche Drug Safety database) on the effects of levodopa on the fetus during human pregnancy (16). A significant fall in maternal blood pressure was observed in all cases, but no adverse effects from the decrease occurred in the mothers or newborns (24). In three of these cases, lamotrigine was given in various combinations with other anticonvulsants. The investigators concluded that their results supported the recommendation that the use benzodiazepines was not a reason to avoid breastfeeding (13). None of the study cases had a history of therapeutic radiation or exposure to chemotherapy before their cancer diagnosis. The mechanism of action of orlistat involves bonding to gastric and pancreatic lipases, thereby inactivating these enzymes. It is not known whether quinupristin or dalfopristin crosses the human placenta to the fetus. As a fluoroquinolone, it is in the same class of agents as ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, and sparfloxacin. Although the infants were not allowed to breastfeed during the above study, the small amounts excreted into the milk are probably not clinically significant. Methimazole as a teratogenic etiology of choanal atresia/multiple congenital anomaly syndrome (abstract). Data were available for 1322 exposed (1318 live births; 4 stillbirths) and 1328 nonexposed (1320 live births; 8 stillbirths) infants. Multiple anomalies in a fetus exposed to low-dose methotrexate in the first trimester. The authors of the report could not exclude an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance as a cause of the defects (see Lysergic Acid Diethylamide). Although citing no primary references, the authors concluded that the agent was not contraindicated in pregnancy because of the lack of reports of harmful effects on the fetus, the mother, and the pregnancy (2). A study in dogs (because fetal exposure was about 2% of maternal levels in rabbits) observed no indinavir-related effects on embryo or fetal survival, fetal weight, or teratogenicity. The efficacy and tolerance of mifepristone and prostaglandin in first trimester termination of pregnancy. In reproductive studies in pregnant rats and rabbits, doses up to approximately 345 and 172 times, respectively, the normal human dose produced no evidence of teratogenicity, but dose-related embryo and fetal mortality was observed (1). It is used for the prevention and treatment of hypoprothrombinemia caused by vitamin K deficiency (2). A 2003 prospective controlled cohort study reported the outcomes of 192 pregnancies exposed to mebendazole, most of which (71. She conceived again several months later and eventually delivered a healthy full-term 3000-g female infant. A 2000 retrospective study evaluated the use of sotalol for fetal tachycardia in 21 pregnant women (16). High-dose fluconazole (400 mg/day) is suspected of causing birth defects (see Fluconazole), but doses <400 mg/day appear to be low risk. Maternal serum levels at 3 and 7 weeks were 48 and 47 ng/mL, respectively, but were undetectable in the infant. The molecular weight of the prodrug (about 433) is low enough, but plasma concentrations are probably very low and have a very short elimination half-life. It is not known if pioglitazone or its active metabolites cross the placenta to the fetus. A controlled trial of the treatment of hypertension in pregnancy: labetalol compared with methyldopa.

In another previously cited study, the overall rate of birth defects in live births was no different in 583 anesthetists (5. The molecular weight (about 401 for the free base), moderate metabolism (52%) and plasma protein binding (30%­50%), and long elimination half-life (about 8­15 hours) suggest that the agent will be excreted into breast milk. Three women in the second half of pregnancy with atrial flutter or fibrillation were successfully converted to sinus rhythm and, although there was no information on the newborns, apparently gave birth to normal infants at term. The first patient took mirtazapine 60 mg/day and trifluoperazine 8 mg/day in gestational weeks 1­5. No effects of the exposure were observed in the offspring during prenatal and postnatal development studies, including fertility and reproductive performance (1). Maternal withdrawal during pregnancy has been observed to produce a marked response of the fetal adrenal glands and sympathetic nervous system (10). Early references reported 11 cases of scalp defects (aplasia cutis congenita) in newborns exposed in utero to methimazole or carbimazole (converted in vivo to methimazole) (7­11). The pharmacokinetics and placental transport of phenytoin have been extensively studied and reviewed (86­88). Plasma protein binding is 85% and the mean plasma elimination half-life is 20­40 hours (2). In a majority of the cases, exposure to the iodide was a result of maternal asthma treatment. The concentration of cucurbitin in pumpkin seeds depends on the subspecies, varying from 0. A significant reduction in litter size was noted only in the highest exposure group, but no signs of fetal resorption or skeletal malformations were found in any group. The representatives cautioned that although case reports were important to raise hypotheses, they could not be used to infer a causal relationship (7). Reproductive studies in rats and rabbits have been conducted with nitroglycerin (4­6). The American Academy of Pediatrics classifies other similar agents as compatible with breastfeeding. Intrauterine administration of 1-noradrenaline and propranolol during the second trimester of pregnancy. The total daily dose that would be consumed by a nursing infant during the maternal use of 30 mg/day has been estimated to be 1­45 mcg/kg (31­33). Infants should be monitored for adverse events commonly observed in adults, such as fatigue, syncope, somnolence, dizziness, dyspepsia, and nausea and vomiting. The mechanism of the increased toxicity appeared to be reduced plasma levels of 5methyltetrahydrofolic acid in the dams. The molecular weight (about 200), lack of plasma protein binding, and prolonged elimination half-life suggest that the drug will cross the placenta throughout gestation. Effective contraception should be continued for 6 months after ribavirin therapy has been stopped. It is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and for the prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis which may lead to pulmonary embolism in patients undergoing knee or hip replacement surgery. In one investigation, increases in 1,25dihydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone in both the mother and the fetus may have prevented more severe hypocalcemia (27). In an internationally reported case, a woman took sitagliptin, insulin, metformin, and rosiglitazone for about 5 weeks in the 1st trimester. Fetal levels were still present 5 hours after the end of the infusion and 2 hours after maternal concentrations were undetectable. The investigators concluded that the three agents lacked the specific in vitro characteristics of valproate (4). Misoprostol embryotoxicity: clinical evaluation of fifteen patients with arthrogryposis. Until human data are available, the safest course is to avoid this drug in pregnancy.

Cheap policano 5 mg amex

These results suggested to the investigators that the narcotic rapidly crossed the placenta and was metabolized and redistributed in the fetus. However, lurasidone is a weak base, and when used during lactation, accumulation in the milk may occur with concentrations significantly greater than corresponding plasma levels. If a woman takes this drug during pregnancy, she should be informed of the potential harm to her embryo and/or fetus. The relationship between interferon beta-1b and the abortions cannot be determined, at least partially because of the lack of details involving this clinical trial, such as the timing of abortion to drug administration, the dose used, the clinical condition of the women, and the number of pregnant women in the trial. However, because of the very limited human pregnancy experience with atypical antipsychotics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists does not recommend the routine use of these agents in pregnancy, but a risk­benefit assessment may indicate that such use is appropriate (1). Although these amounts are not thought to be harmful to the nursing infant, they are insufficient to provide adequate protection against malaria (3). The amount of iloperidone and metabolites in milk might be limited by their high (about 95%) serum protein binding. A 1983 study measured pyridoxine levels in pooled human milk obtained from preterm (26 mothers: 29­34 weeks) and term (35 mothers: 39 weeks or longer) patients (80). A 30-year-old, penicillin-allergic, breastfeeding woman developed erysipelas/cellulitis in her breasts 9 days after a cesarean section (9). Omeprazole-exposed women were from Canada (N = 59), Italy (N = 41), and France (N = 13), whereas all of the 226 controls were from Canada (Motherisk Program in Toronto). Pregnancy outcome following exposure to permethrin and use of teratogen information. In one report, indomethacin was used to treat polyhydramnios because of feto-fetal transfusion syndrome in two sets of twins (80). The high molecular weight (about 83,000) suggests that the glycoprotein will not be excreted into breast milk. The lack of change in uteroplacental blood flow suggested that there was uterine vasodilation with decreased uterine vascular resistance. Among the infants, 8 were delivered prematurely, 12 were growth restricted, and 11 had withdrawal symptoms after birth. Pregnancy and exposure to infliximab (anti-tumor necrosis factoralpha monoclonal antibody). Because asthma is known to cause maternal and fetal harm, the use of mometasone should not be withheld because of pregnancy. The American Academy of Pediatrics classifies spironolactone as compatible with breastfeeding (7). The effect of antenatal phenobarbital therapy on neonatal intracranial hemorrhage in preterm infants. Only the highest oral concentrations (2500­4000 ppm) of permethrin administered after implantation were found to lower significantly the protein and glycogen contents of rat placentas, but this had no statistical effect on the number of live fetuses (5). It also is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer resistant to anthracyclines, taxanes, and capecitabine. A 1994 study of children exposed to marijuana during the 1st and 2nd trimesters found significant negative effects on the performance of 3-year-old children on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (88). One week later, analysis of a milk sample for paroxetine revealed a concentration of 7. No data were available on the effects of this exposure on the nursing infant (65). However, the high plasma protein binding (99% and 97%, respectively) may limit the excretion. Authors of correspondence relating to the above report noted that they had also identified a case of holoprosencephaly in a stillborn infant exposed in utero to anticonvulsants (59). It is contraindicated in pregnancy because of the risk of uterine bleeding and contractions that may result in abortion. The exacerbation of this latter adverse effect has not been reported with mefloquine (7), but it occurs frequently with quinine (7­9). The subspecies belong to the family Cucurbitaceae and include Cucurbita pepo (also known as C. Melphalan has caused suppression of ovarian function resulting in amenorrhea (11­14).

Purchase policano 30mg with amex

Plasma protein binding, primarily to albumin, is about 98% and is independent of plasma concentrations (1). Malformations observed were omphalocele, defective anterior abdominal wall, defect in diaphragm, congenital heart disease with partial ectopic cordis secondary to sternal cleft, and dysplastic hips. From the 549 follow-up cases, 509 were treated during the 1st trimester, 22 after the 1st trimester, and in 18 cases, the exposure occurred at an unknown gestational time. The lithium concentrations of the maternal plasma, amniotic fluid, and cord vein plasma were all greater than 4 mmol/L (severe toxic effect >2. Although protein binding significantly affected the degree of transfer, the drug readily crossed the placenta in both directions. The precipitates are slowly and continuously released over a 24-hour period with no pronounced peak (1). Although human data have been published and no congenital malformations attributable to salmeterol were observed, the data are too limited to assess the safety of salmeterol. There is probably no relationship of this toxicity in pregnant humans consuming occasional low (10 mg) doses, but high doses or frequent use during gestation should be avoided. Nateglinide is indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (noninsulin-dependent) as monotherapy to lower blood glucose when hyperglycemia cannot be adequately controlled by diet and exercise. Varicella-zoster immune globulin is indicated for susceptible (seronegative) pregnant women exposed to chickenpox because of the increased severity of maternal chickenpox, including death, in adults compared with children (1,3­14). Assays for mutagenicity also were negative and the drug had no effect on fertility or reproductive function in male and female rats (1). Congenital malformations following intrauterine varicella in pregnancy are relatively uncommon, but case reports have periodically appeared since 1947 (7­9,11,12,15­19). In Rio de Janeiro during a 9month period of 1991, of 803 women admitted to hospitals with abortion complications, 458 (57%) had self-administered misoprostol to induce abortion (11). However, toxicity was observed in rats at the maximum dose that included an increase in postimplantation losses, increased pup deaths during the first 3 days of lactation, and lower pup birth weights. When an iron supplement was added to the kaolin-fortified diet, no anemia or reduced birth weight was observed. An ultrasound of the neonate revealed bilateral intraventricular hemorrhage and left occipital meningeal hematomas. However, the available data do not appear to suggest that acute or chronic exposure to nitrous oxide at any time in pregnancy represents a major risk for structural anomalies. In another 1997 study, 12 breastfeeding women were taking methadone in single daily doses of 20­80 mg (23). Pilsicainide in breast milk from a mother: comparison with disopyramide and propafenone. Nicardipine decreased maternal systolic and diastolic blood pressure and umbilical artery resistance significantly more than metoprolol and significantly fewer patients required a cesarean section for fetal distress (6% vs. The molecular weight of the free base (about 186) is low enough that excretion into breast milk should be expected. Two of the cases, exposed in the 1st trimester (one in the 1st and the other in the 3rd month of gestation), had cardiovascular malformations. As above, either proguanil alone or proguanil in combination with chloroquine was superior to chloroquine alone, producing higher levels of maternal hemoglobin, higher birth weights, and less placental malaria. A 2000 report expanded the above database, describing the outcomes of 37 prospectively identified pregnancies that had been exposed to olanzapine during clinical trials (7). When all doses tested were given throughout gestation and lactation, fetal and pup deaths were observed at the mid and high doses and delayed sexual maturation in males and females at the highest dose. Plasma protein binding is >99% and the mean elimination halflife is about 31 hours (1). Until such data are available, the safest course is to avoid imiquimod in pregnancy, but if exposure does occur, the risk to the embryo and/or fetus appears to be low. Gastroesophageal reflux, presenting with seizure-like episodes but with a normal neurologic examination and electroencephalogram, was diagnosed at 8 months of age. Four patients undergoing therapeutic abortion were given a single 15-mg 35S-labeled oral dose 2 hours before pregnancy termination (41). With both tablet strengths, the milk concentrations returned to baseline in 6 hours.

The fetal effects included increased resorptions, decreased body weight, delays in skeletal ossification, and bent limb bones. The infant continued to display jitteriness, tremor, focal jerking movements of all four limbs with hypertonia, opisthotonus posturing, hyper-reflexia, and a hyperactive Moro reflex. The second study did not find an increased risk with the first three defects but did so for the cardiac defect (5). No reports on the use of the commercial formulation in human pregnancy have been located. Oral administration of pyridoxine hydrochloride in the treatment of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. These and other effects prompted one author to recommend that promethazine should not be used during labor (14). Immunodeficiency and runting syndrome in rats from congenital pyridoxine deficiency. Most studies have found no effect on fetal growth, but one did find fetal growth restriction when used for the treatment of mild preeclampsia. An earlier study also failed to find any relationship with nongenital malformations (3). The dose, duration, and period of gestation are important determinants of these effects. A brief 1993 report described the use of indigo carmine in women with twins who underwent amniocentesis between 1977 and 1991 in the United States (8). The molecular weight (about 595) is low enough that exposure of the embryo­fetus should be expected. A cesarean section at the beginning of the 36th gestational week delivered a 42-cm-long, 1300-g female infant. Stavudine also crosses the placenta in rats, resulting in a fetal:maternal ratio of approximately 0. A report from England on the safety profile of repaglinide briefly mentioned five pregnancies exposed to the drug during pregnancy (6). Cocaine and indomethacin: fetal anuria, neonatal edema, and gastrointestinal bleeding. The molecular weight (about 786) is low enough for passive transfer, but only a very small amount of the antibiotic is absorbed into the systemic circulation. The results showed that insulin, both endogenous and exogenous, is actively transported from the blood into milk and is protected from degradation and, presumably, has a functional or developmental role in the infant. However, because a significant dose­response relationship for adverse morphology was not observed, the investigators could not conclude with certainty that the antibiotic induced abnormal sperm (9). A 1997 review of antipsychotic use in pregnancy concluded that the safety of risperidone in human pregnancy had not been established (5). Quinine has also been used to induce labor in women with intrauterine fetal death (8). The American Academy of Pediatrics classifies the effects of other antidepressants on nursing infants as unknown but may be of concern (8). An accompanying editorial discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the study (13). Anticonvulsant monotherapy occurred in 223 women: phenytoin (N = 87), phenobarbital (N = 64), carbamazepine (N = 58), and too few cases for analysis with valproic acid, clonazepam, diazepam, and lorazepam. The abnormalities included absent left arm, syndactyly, anencephaly with ectopic placenta, cleft lip and palate, coloboma of the iris, cataract, and corneal opacity with vascularization. The women had been taking olanzapine for a mean of 114 days (range 19­395 days) and the mean age of the infants was 2. There were nine neonatal complications, two cardiovascular and 7 respiratory (complications were not further described), and two infants were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (reasons not provided) (8). Levalbuterol inhalation is indicated for the treatment or prevention of bronchospasm in adults, adolescents, and children 6 years of age with reversible obstructive airway disease.

This effect may have been the result of enhanced biochemical communication between the mother and conceptus (9). In 19 healthy euthyroid mothers not taking thyroid replacement therapy, mean milk T4 concentrations in the 1st postpartum week were 3. The molecular weight (about 253) is low enough for excretion into breast milk, but the systemic concentration is below the limit of detection. A woman was treated with procainamide, 375 mg 4 times daily, for premature ventricular contractions during the 3rd trimester (10). The agent is only available in a fixed combination (200 mg lopinavir/50 mg ritonavir per capsule; 80 mg lopinavir/20 mg ritonavir per mL oral solution). The agent is extensively metabolized and some of the metabolites are pharmacologically active. The mean peak concentration of the parent compound in these volunteers was 2282 ng/mL, or about 15 times the average peak concentration measured in the two women above. The authors acknowledged that further studies were needed because most of these associations had not been reported from other databases (21). Female offspring of melatonin-treated rats showed significantly later vaginal opening compared with the control groups. In a similar investigation by these same researchers, 11 women at a mean gestational age of 10. Surgical correction of the defects was attempted but the infants died from postoperative sepsis and renal failure. Much higher doses that caused maternal toxicity were associated with increased fetal resorptions and effects on estrous cycling, fertility, ovulation, and implantation (3,4). Although an earlier reference speculated that milk levels were similar to maternal plasma levels (92), a study published in 1991 reported a median milk:plasma ratio of 0. Although the oral bioavailability of pamidronate in infants is not known, in adults it is very low, about 2% in the fasting state (2). Because of the slow elimination in the infant (most likely due to reduced hepatic glucuronidation capacity), the marked increase in maternal plasma lamotrigine concentrations that occurred after birth (see Fetal Risk Summary above), and the fact that infant drug levels may not have reached steady-state concentrations, the infant exposure could eventually result in therapeutic plasma lamotrigine levels. Two reports, one in 1994 and the other in 1995, described aplasia cutis in two newborns exposed during pregnancy to methimazole (35,36). It is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence. The effects of paroxetine on behavioral changes in developing mice have been studied (10,11). In another report, 3 of 31 patients treated with labetalol experienced spontaneous labor, one of whom delivered prematurely (23). The animal data suggest that the risk to the human embryo­ fetus is low, but the lack of human pregnancy experience prevents a more complete assessment of the risk. In a novel case report, a 21-year-old woman was diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer that was initially treated with surgery that left her uterus, right fallopian tube, and ovary in situ (5). In 10 mothers, 3­4 days after delivery, blood and milk samples were collected between 1400 and 1700 (day samples) and between 0200 and 0400 (night samples). From this group, one (2%) infant with an unspecified congenital malformation was observed (standardized relative risk 0. A total of 553 infants (6 sets of twins) were delivered from 547 women who had used acid-suppressing drugs early in pregnancy. A 1991 case report described a woman who was treated for a variceal hemorrhage with endoscopic intravasal injection of polidocanol in midpregnancy (2). Rituximab administration in third trimester of pregnancy suppresses neonatal B-cell development. Some authors believe methadone withdrawal is more intense than that occurring with heroin (1). In rats and rabbits, placental transfer of saquinavir is low (<5% of maternal plasma concentrations) (1). During the first 48 hours, no significant effect was observed on volume of milk consumed or duration of feeding.

Proven policano 20 mg

In addition, the investigators noted incomplete recovery of the germinal epithelium (4). For the nasal spray, the extrapolated systemic exposure, based on the concentration of the inactive metabolite monic acid in urine, was 3. Palifermin has been shown to enhance the growth of human epithelial tumor cell lines in vitro and to increase the rate of tumor cell line growth in a human xenograft model (1). Treatment of dermatologic connective tissue disease and autoimmune blistering disorders in pregnancy. During the subsequent neonatal course, the infant was successfully treated for congestive heart failure and persistent supraventricular tachycardia. It is used during pregnancy for the treatment of hypothyroidism (see also Levothyroxine and Thyroid). Toxic symptoms in the mother included persistent, severe coughing, nausea and vomiting, and hypotension, all of which had resolved within 72 hours. In 2000, a long-term study confirmed the lack of toxicity in infants of mothers being treated with methimazole (61). Right-sided aortic arch and left-sided umbilical artery, defects indicative of altered laterality, were increased on day 8 and hydrocephalus was increased on gestational day 9 (22). Nevertheless, if a mother is taking this drug and breastfeeding, her nursing infant must be monitored for the most common (>1%) adverse reactions: pyrexia, transaminase increase, dizziness, and rash (2). The 28-year-old mother with two healthy children and a long history of epilepsy had taken primidone (500 mg/day) until the 3rd month of pregnancy. Preliminary observations on the use of a new semi-synthetic rifamycin derivative in gynecology and obstetrics. However, a 1985 critique concluded that both sets of investigators had seriously biased their results by failing to adjust for potentially confounding variables (13). A 24-year-old woman had been treated before and throughout gestation with the anticonvulsant (300 mg/day) in combination with valproic acid (8). Thirteen pregnant women, who were regular users of marijuana (once/month to 4 times/day), were matched with controls (28). This assessment is now made by measuring plasma-unconjugated estriol, which is not usually affected by penicillin V. Acute resynchronization with inhaled iloprost in a pregnant woman with idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension. Although the average molecular weights are high (3350 and 4000), only minimal amounts are absorbed and clinically significant exposure of the embryo­fetus should not occur. However, fetal growth restriction has been reported in rats dosed at 1000 mg/kg/day (2). Although the magnitude of these changes is low, the changes in milk production and composition may be of nutritional importance in malnourished mothers. At doses approximating those used in clinical practice, no evidence of teratogenicity was observed in postimplantation rat embryos exposed to mifepristone in culture (81). Fetal heart sounds were lost 2 days after the application of podophyllum, and 10 days later a stillborn female infant was delivered. The American Academy of Pediatrics classifies methyldopa as compatible with breastfeeding (24). Mechlorethamine therapy in males has been observed to produce testicular germinal cell depletion and azoospermia (15,16,18,19). Adjusting the data for the use of indomethacin (the tocolytic of choice in Denmark) did not affect the results. Growth restriction was not evident, but the weight (3170 g, 60th percentile), length (46 cm, 15th percentile), and head circumference (32. A second Registry report, published in 2006 covering the years 1995­2003, analyzed the relationship between antidepressants and major malformations or cardiac defects (3). A significant reduction in nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, however, appears to occur with pyridoxine. The American Academy of Pediatrics noted the above possible adverse reaction but classified indomethacin as compatible with breastfeeding (95). Comparison of an insulin analog, insulin aspart, and regular human insulin with no insulin in gestational diabetes mellitus. Combination therapy with thyroid­antithyroid drugs was advocated at one time but is now considered inappropriate (see also Propylthiouracil) (22,25,47,49,50).

At delivery in a woman taking 1 g of mesalamine 3 times daily, the concentrations of the drug and its metabolite, 3. The mechanism of action of insulin glulisine is similar to human insulin, in that it binds to receptors in muscle and fat cells to facilitate the cellular uptake of glucose and, at the same time, inhibits glucose release from the liver. Although the relatively low molecular weight (about 312 and 284 for the parent drug free base and metabolite, respectively), minimal plasma protein binding, and prolonged elimination half-life suggest that both the parent drug and the metabolite will cross to the embryo­fetus, a 2008 study (5) found otherwise. Treatment with exogenous sodium bicarbonate increases plasma bicarbonate, buffers excess hydrogen ion concentration, and raises blood pH (1). Based on a daily milk intake of 150 mL/kg, a nursing infant would have received 0. After the first dose, her breast milk was collected and separated into two pooled samples (0­24 and 25­48 hours). Milk yields, estimated by weighing the nursing baby before and after suckling, were determined on postpartum days 3 and 7. At least three active metabolites have been identified and these also may be transferred into milk. Because of psychomotor and petit mal seizures, the mother was treated with phenytoin (350 mg/day) and primidone (500 mg/day) during gestation. Defects in the other seven infants were as follows: myelomeningocele with hydrocephalus in three (one with clubfoot); tetralogy of Fallot; hydrocephalus; right kidney neuroblastoma; and hydrocephalus and congestive heart failure. As of July 2009, there were 391 prospective (reported before outcome of pregnancy known) reports of exposure during gestation. Since Parkinson disease is relatively uncommon during the childbearing years, the use of pramipexole during pregnancy also will be uncommon. A 2005 study measured the amount of three fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin) that crossed the perfused human placenta (6). The American Academy of Pediatrics classifies secobarbital as compatible with breastfeeding (4). They observed 10 malformations, an incidence almost twice the expected rate, but they cautioned that their findings required independent confirmation. No evidence of teratogenicity was observed in pregnant rats or rabbits at oral doses up to 2. A subsequent communication raising concerns about the validity of the study in terms of adequate exclusion of diabetes, charting and coding errors in busy medical practices, and the effects of maternal obesity (5) was addressed by the investigators (6). A population-based cohort study on the use of metronidazole during pregnancy from 1991 to 1996 was conducted in Denmark and reported in 1999 (37). Periodic Doppler echocardiography during therapy revealed a non-dose-related mild constriction of the ductus arteriosus in 4 (6. An abstract published in 2000 described the results of a study involving 34 pregnant women treated with protease inhibitors (4 with indinavir) compared with 41 controls that evaluated the association with diabetes (10). The authors speculated that the embryotoxicity observed in animals and humans (see also Clotrimazole and Sulconazole) might be explained by inhibition of placental aromatase. The effects of this exposure on a nursing infant are unknown, but myelosuppression and reversible thrombocytopenia are potential complications. In women of childbearing age, pregnancy should be excluded and the woman should be on a reliable contraceptive before starting therapy. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in pregnancy-case report and review of the literature. The very limited human pregnancy experience prevents a full assessment of the risk. If a woman who is or may be pregnant is given this drug, she must be informed of the potential embryo­fetal risk. Indeed, the manufacturer of mycophenolate sodium states that there are no relevant qualitative or quantitative differences in the teratogenic potential of the two products (1). These exposures were above the limit 12% of the time for isoflurane and 49% of the time for desflurane.
