Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis can negatively affect pregnancy and / or embryo / fetal development. Results of epidemiological studies suggest an increased risk of miscarriage and cardiac malformation and gastroschisis after use of a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor in early pregnancy. The absolute risk of cardiac malformations increased from less than 1% to approximately 1.5%.

The risk was believed to increase with dose and duration of therapy. In animals, administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors has been shown to cause an increase in pre- and post-implantation loss and embryo-fetal mortality. Furthermore, an increased incidence of various malformations, including cardiovascular, has been reported in animals administered prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors during the organogenetic period.

During the third trimester of pregnancy, all prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors can expose the fetus to: cardiopulmonary toxicity (with premature closure of the arterial duct and pulmonary hypertension); renal dysfunction, which can progress to renal failure with oligo-hydroamnios; the mother and the newborn.
At the end of pregnancy, to: possible prolongation of bleeding time, and antiplatelet effect which can occur even at very low doses; inhibition of uterine contractions resulting in delayed or prolonged labor.
