Cernevit Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Physicians should carefully consider the potential risks and benefits for each specific patient before prescribing CERNEVIT.
No safety data from Clinical trials are available to date therefore it is recommended to use CERNEVIT during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if absolutely necessary (only if the potential benefits are higher than the foetal risks).
CERNEVIT contains vitamin A. Taking into account that normal nutrition covers the daily vitamin A needs (found in liver, liver products, milk, dairy products, margarine, eggs, salad oils), daily doses sometimes exceed the daily needs (especially when liver of liver products are consumed). Certain data show that high vitamin A doses in pregnant women (1^st trimester) and women who want to become pregnant should not exceed 10 000 IU/day. This should be taken into consideration when CERNEVIT is administered with a large amount of food containing vitamin A.
The risk of vitamin A overdose in the neonate should be evaluated before using CERNEVIT in breastfeeding women.
Fertility: There are no adequate data from the use of CERNEVIT with regards to fertility in male or female patients.
