Pregnancy: Cisplatin may be toxic to the fetus when administered to a pregnant woman.
Cisplatin should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary.
During treatment with cisplatin and for a minimum of the following 6 months, appropriate measures must be taken to avoid pregnancy; this applies to patients of both genders.
Genetic counseling is recommended if the patient wishes to have children after ending the treatment.
Since a treatment with cisplatin may cause irreversible infertility, it is recommended that men, who wish to become fathers in the future, ask for advice regarding cryo-conservation of their sperm prior to treatment.
Breast-feeding: Cisplatin is excreted in breast milk. Patients treated with cisplatin must not breastfeed.
