Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Pregnancy

Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis can adversely 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 was increased from less than 1% to approximately 1.5%. It has been estimated that the risk increases 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. In addition, an increased incidence of various malformations, including cardiovascular, has been reported in animals given prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors during the organogenetic period.

During the first and second trimester of pregnancy, acetylsalicylic acid should not be administered unless clearly needed. If drugs containing acetylsalicylic acid are used by a woman trying to become pregnant, or during the first and second trimester of pregnancy, treatment should be as short as possible and the dose as low as possible. 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 oligohydroamnios; The use of Aspirin Pain Inflammation Tablets can expose the mother and the unborn child, at the end of pregnancy, to: possible prolongation of the bleeding time, an antiplatelet effect that can occur even at very low doses; inhibition of uterine contractions resulting in delayed or prolonged labor.

Consequently, acetylsalicylic acid is contraindicated during the third trimester of pregnancy
