Pregnancy& Lactation of Aceclofenac

FDA Pregnancy Category C 

Pregnancy

There is no information on the secretion of aceclofenac in breast milk. The use of aceclofenac should, therefore, be avoided during lactation unless the potential benefits to the mother outweigh the possible risks to the children. During the third trimester of pregnancy, all prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors may expose the fetus to

  • cardiopulmonary toxicity (with premature closure of the ductus arteriosus and pulmonary hypertension);
  • renal dysfunction, which may progress to renal failure with oligo-hydramnios;

the mother and the neonate, at the end of pregnancy, to

  • possible prolongation of bleeding time, an anti-aggregating effect which may occur even at very low doses.
  • inhibition of uterine contractions resulting in delayed or prolonged labor.

Consequently, aceclofenac is contraindicated during the third trimester of pregnancy

Lactation

There is no information on the secretion of aceclofenac to breast milk; there was, however, no notable transfer of radiolabelled aceclofenac to the milk of lactating rats. The use of aceclofenac should, therefore, be avoided in pregnancy and lactation unless the potential benefits to the other outweigh the possible risks to the fetus.
