Use in Pregnancy & Use in Lactation: FC tablet: Based on the available data, negative influence on the foetus or the woman during pregnancy or breast-feeding is unlikely. However, as a precaution: If the patient is pregnant or breast-feeding, thinking may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby ask doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy: Syrup & Oral drops: Clinical data of exposed pregnancies exhibited no undesirable effects on pregnancy or on the health of the foetus or newborn infant (see Pharmacology under Actions). Data from epidemiological studies is not available. Animal studies did not show any reproductive toxicity (see Pharmacology: Toxicology: Preclinical data under Actions). Caution is advised for use during pregnancy. As a precautionary measure, Maltofer should only be taken after consulting a doctor.
Breast-feeding: Syrup & Oral drops: It is not known whether iron from the iron (III)-hydroxide polymaltose complex is excreted in human milk. Human milk naturally contains iron bound to lactoferrin.
