ZANIDIP 10MG TABLETS 28`S

There are no data from the use of lercanidipine in pregnant women. Studies in animals have not shown teratogenic effects , but these have been observed with other dihydropyridine compounds. ZANIDIP is not recommended during pregnancy and in women of childbearing-potential not using contraception.

Breast-feeding

It is unknown whether lercanidipine/metabolites are excreted in human milk. A risk to the newborns/infants cannot be excluded. ZANIDIP should not be used during breast-feeding.

Fertility

No clinical data are available with lercanidipine. Reversible biochemical changes in the head of spermatozoa which can impair fecundation have been reported in some patients treated by channel blockers. In cases where repeated in-vitro fertilisation is unsuccessful and where another explanation cannot be found, the possibility of calcium channel blockers as the cause should be considered
