Use in pregnancy and lactation: During pregnancy Vasoten should only recommended following careful assessment of benefit-to-risk ratio by the doctor. In general, beta-blockers reduce placental blood flow and may affect the development of the unborn child. Placental and uterine blood flow as well as the growth of the unborn child must be monitored and, in case of harmful effects on pregnancy or the foetus, alternative therapeutic measures considered.
The newborn infant must be monitored closely after delivery. Symptoms of reduced blood glucose and slowed pulse rate generally may occur within the first 3 days of life.
There are no data on the excretion of bisoprolol in human breast milk or the safety of bisoprolol exposure in infants. Therefore administration of Vasoten is not recommended during breastfeeding.
