6Austedo for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women
It is not fully known whether pregnant women may take Austedo safely. There has not been any research on women who take this medication during pregnancy. In animal studies, the drug increased the risk of infant deaths and stillbirth. However, it is important to know that these results do not always suggest what would occur in humans. If you plan to get pregnant or are currently pregnant, consult your healthcare provider to choose a safer option.
Similarly, there is not sufficient research on the safety of Austedo on breastfeeding women. No studies have been done on both lactating animals and women using the medication. Therefore, it is still not clear whether Austedo would pass into breast milk and affect the breastfed baby. Make sure to discuss with your healthcare provider and find safer alternatives. [9]
