Camelon 4/Camelon 8 Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Camelon 4: Fertility: Corticosteroids have been shown to impair fertility.
Pregnancy: Since adequate human reproductive studies have not been done with methylprednisolone, this medicinal product should be used during pregnancy only after a careful assessment of the benefit-risk ratio to the mother and fetus.
Some corticosteroids readily cross the placenta. One retrospective study found an increased incidence of low birth weights in infants born to mothers receiving corticosteroids. In humans, the risk of low birth weight appears to be dose related and may be minimized by administering lower corticosteroid doses. Infants born to mothers, who have received substantial doses of corticosteroids during pregnancy must be carefully observed and evaluated for signs of adrenal insufficiency, although neonatal adrenal insufficiency appears to be rare in infants who were exposed in utero to corticosteroids.
There are no known effects of corticosteroids on labor and delivery.
Lactation: Corticoids are excreted in breast milk and mothers taking the drug should not be breast feed.
This medicinal product should be used during breastfeeding only after a careful assessment of the benefit-risk ratio to the mother and infant.
Camelon 8: This drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Not recommended for pregnant women and nursing mothers.
