Amlodipine/Valsartan Teva Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy: Tell the doctor if the patient thinks she is (or might become) pregnant. The doctor will normally advise the patient to stop taking Amlodipine/Valsartan Teva Tablets before becoming pregnant or as soon as pregnancy is known and will advise to take another medicine instead of Amlodipine/Valsartan Teva Tablets. Amlodipine/Valsartan Teva Tablets is not recommended in early pregnancy (first 3 months), and must not be taken when more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to the baby if used after the third month of pregnancy.
Breast-feeding: Tell the doctor if the patient is breast-feeding or about to start breast-feeding. Amlodipine has been shown to pass into breast milk in small amounts. Amlodipine/Valsartan Teva Tablets is not recommended for mothers who are breast-feeding, and the doctor may choose another treatment if the mother wishes to breast-feed, especially if the baby is newborn, or was born prematurely.
Ask the doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
