Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:B

Breastfeeding: Contraindicated; should not be used in pregnancy as it may interfere with lactation, particularly when used in combination with a sympathomimetic or if lactation is not well established. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 21 January 2011).Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from cyproheptadine, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
