Lucemyra Pregnancy Warnings
Rabbits administered approximately 0.08 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD; based on AUC) from the beginning of organogenesis through lactation showed an increased incidence of resorptions, decreased number of implantations, and a concomitant reduction in the number of fetuses; maternal toxicity was observed at approximately 0.4 times the MRHD. Pregnant rats dosed at approximately 0.9 times the MRHD showed decreased implantations and decreased mean fetal weights; this dose was associated with maternal toxicity. At 0.2 times the MRHD (1.0 mg/kg/day), no malformations or evidence of developmental toxicity were observed. At doses higher than 0.2 times MRHD, surviving offspring exhibited lowered body weights, developmental delays, and increased delays in auditory startle. Sexual maturation was delayed in male offspring at 2 mg/kg/day and in female offspring at 1 mg/kg /day or higher. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.
US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X are being phased out.
Benefit should outweigh risk
