זה לא נחשב מסוכן להריון
הנה הציטוט מתוך מסמך ה-FDA (רשות התרופות והמזון האמריקנית): Pregnancy Category C: Methylphenidate has been shown to have teratogenic effects in rabbits when given in doses of 200 mg/kg/day, which is approximately 100 times and 40 times the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/kg and mg/m2 basis, respectively. NDA 21-121 14 A reproduction (שיחזור המחקר)study in rats revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus (עובר) at oral doses up to 30 mg/kg/day, approximately 15- fold and 3-fold the maximum recommended human dose of CONCERTAJ on a mg/kg and mg/m2 basis, respectively. (המינון לבני אדם הוא 1-2 מ"ג/ק"ג/יום) The approximate plasma exposure to methylphenidate plus its main metabolite PPA in pregnant rats was 2 times that seen in trials in volunteers and patients with the maximum recommended dose of CONCERTAJ based on the AUC. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. CONCERTAJ should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Nursing Mothers It is not known whether methylphenidate is excreted( מופרש) in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised if CONCERTAJ is administered to a nursing woman. בקיצור, זה לא נחשב מסוכן, וממליצים לקחת בזמן ההריון רק אם שיקולי רווח והפסד מראים זאת. מאחלת לך הריון נעים והנאה מהרחבת המשפחה!
