Supplemental Patient Information

Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:D

Breastfeeding: Not necessarily a reason to discontinue breastfeeding if carisoprodol is required by the mother. Slight sedation has occurred in a breastfed newborn infant on exposing carisoprodol during pregnancy and lactation; effect is more pronounced in newborns when exposed for the first time during nursing. Prefer an alternative agent especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Avoid aspirin during breastfeeding, especially with very young infants; although a rare single low dose of aspirin daily is unlikely to cause problems in the infant. The risks with chronic high dose aspirin use are less clear. Monitor infant salicylate serum levels particularly in neonates. Avoid breastfeeding for 1-2 hrs after a dose to minimize antiplatelet effects. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 24 December 2010). Carisoprodol may reduce effective infant feeding (due to sedation) and/or decreased milk production. Nursing mothers should avoid the use of aspirin as it may lead to bleeding in the infant. Manufacturer advises to use the product in a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
