Vibee Use In Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy: Vitamin B₁ is category A (parenteral) in normal therapeutic doses. Category C if used in dose greater than recommended dietary allowances (RDA).
Vitamin B₆ is category A in normal therapeutic doses. Category C if used in dose greater than recommended dietary allowances (RDA). The RDA of pyridoxine is 1.9 mg/day during pregnancy.
Vitamin B₁₂ - absorption of vitamin B₁₂ may increase during pregnancy. Vitamin B₁₂ requirements may be increased in pregnant women compared with non-pregnant women. Serum concentration of vitamin B₁₂ are higher in the neonate at birth than the mother.
Lactation: Vitamin B₁ is not known whether that it is excreted in breast milk. Use with caution in nursing women.
Vitamin B₆ is excreted in breast milk and is directly proportional to maternal intake. Convulsions have been reported in infants fed a pyridoxine-deficient diet. Neonate seizures have been noted following birth in a mother consuming pyridoxine 80 mg/day or in infants whose mother's breast milk contained 67 mcg/day. Pyridoxine has been reported to inhibit lactation at oral doses of 600 mg/day. Avoid pyridoxine use in excess of the RDA during normal breastfeeding. The RDA of pyridoxine is 2 mg/day for nursing mothers.
Vitamin B₁₂ is found in breast milk. Milk concentrations are similar to maternal serum concentration and concentration may be decreased in women who are vegetarians. Vitamin B₁₂ requirements may be increased in breastfeeding women compared with non-breast-feeding women.
