Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Esomeprazole should only be used in pregnant women or women suspected of being pregnant if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks of treatment.
Lactation: Esomeprazole is likely present in human milk. Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of omeprazole and limited data indicate that maternal doses of omeprazole 20 mg daily produce low levels in human milk. Caution should be exercised when esomeprazole is administered to a breastfeeding woman.
