Pregnancy: LIPIODOL ULTRA-FLUIDE must not be used in pregnant women because of the transplacental transfer of iodine, over a long period of time, which interferes probably with the thyroid function of the foetus, with a potential risk of cerebral lesions and permanent hypothyroidism (e.g. congenital hypothyroidism).
Lactation: Pharmacokinetic studies have shown significant secretion of iodine in breast milk after intramuscular administration of LIPIODOL ULTRA-FLUIDE. It has been demonstrated that the iodine enters the vascular system of the breastfed infant via the gastrointestinal tract and this could interfere with thyroid fuction. Consequently, breastfeeding should be discontinued if LIPIODOL ULTRA-FLUIDE must be used.
