No Information provided
Is Winlevi safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
- There are no available data on Winlevi cream use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drugassociated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
- There are no data regarding the presence of clascoterone or metabolite in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant or the effects on milk production.
- The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of clascoterone to an infant during lactation; therefore, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for clascoterone and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from clascoterone or from the underlying maternal condition.
