Dailyton Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy: Dailyton should not be used during pregnancy. If a pregnancy occurs, Dailyton treatment should be stopped immediately.
Animal studies have shown that very high doses of progestogenic substances may cause masculinization of female foetuses.
Extensive epidemiological studies have revealed neither an increased risk of birth defects in children from women who used OCs prior to pregnancy, nor a teratogenic effect when OCs were taken inadvertently during early pregnancy. Although this probably also applies to all OCs, it is not clear whether this is also the case for Dailyton.
Lactation: Dailyton does not influence the production or the quality of breast milk. However, a small amount of progestogen is excreted with the milk. The amount of lynestrenol and metabolites excreted in the milk is about 0.14% of the daily administered dose, but no adverse effects on infant growth and development have been reported. Nevertheless development and growth of the child should be closely monitored. Based on the data available, Dailyton can be prescribed for lactating women.
