Pregnancy: There are no adequate data from the use of pantoprazole in pregnant women. Studies in animals have shown reproductive toxicity. The potential risk for humans is unknown. Pantoprazole gastro-resistant tablets should not be used during pregnancy, unless clearly necessary.
Lactation: Animal studies have shown excretion of pantoprazole in breast milk. Excretion into human milk has been reported. Therefore, a decision on whether to continue/discontinue breast feeding or to continue/discontinue therapy with pantoprazole gastro-resistant tablets should be made taking into account the benefit of breastfeeding to the child, and the benefit of pantoprazole gastro-resistant tablets therapy to women.
