Jardiance Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy: There are no data from the use of empagliflozin in pregnant women. Animal studies show that empagliflozin crosses the placenta during late gestation to a very limited extent but do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to early embryonic development. However, animal studies have shown adverse effects on postnatal development (see Pharmacology: Toxicology: Preclinical safety data under Actions). As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of JARDIANCE during early pregnancy. JARDIANCE is not recommended during the second and third trimester of pregnancy.
Breast-feeding: No data in humans are available on excretion of empagliflozin into milk. Available toxicological data in animals have shown excretion of empagliflozin in milk. A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded. JARDIANCE should not be used during breast-feeding.
Fertility: No studies on the effect on human fertility have been conducted for JARDIANCE. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to fertility (see Pharmacology: Toxicology: Preclinical safety data under Actions).
