Use in Pregnancy: Nifedipine is contraindicated in pregnancy before week 20. There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. In animal studies nifedipine has been shown to produce embryotoxicity, fetotoxicity and teratogenicity.
Use in Lactation: Nifedipine passes into the breast milk. As there is no experience of possible effects on infants, breastfeeding should first be stopped if nifedipine treatment becomes necessary during breastfeeding period.
