Pregnancy: There are limited amount of data from the use of lebrikizumab in pregnant women. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to reproductive toxicity (see Pharmacology: Toxicology: Preclinical safety data under Actions). As a precautionary measure, it is preferable to avoid the use of lebrikizumab during pregnancy.
Breast-feeding: It is unknown whether lebrikizumab is excreted in human milk or absorbed systemically after ingestion. Maternal IgG is known to be present in human milk. A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue from lebrikizumab therapy taking into account the benefit of breast feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.
Fertility: Animal studies showed no impairment of fertility (see Pharmacology: Toxicology: Preclinical safety data under Actions).
