Pregnancy: Safety for use in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. There are no adequate data from the use of dexamethasone in pregnant women. Corticosteroids are generally teratogenic in laboratory animals when administered systemically at relatively low dosage levels. Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity. The potential risk for humans is unknown. OZURDEX should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary, under the supervision of a physician.
Lactation: It is not known whether intraocular administration of corticosteroids could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in human milk. Low level dexamethasone systemic exposure was detected following intraocular implantation of OZURDEX in non-pregnant rabbits and monkeys. OZURDEX should not be used during lactation unless clearly necessary, under the supervision of a physician.
