5 Interactions found for:

The following applies to the ingredients: Rosuvastatin

Contraindicated

AU TGA pregnancy category: D
US FDA pregnancy category: Not assigned

Risk Summary: Safety in pregnant women has not been established and there is no apparent benefit to use during pregnancy. Because HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) decrease cholesterol synthesis and possibly the synthesis of other biologically active substances derived from cholesterol, this drug may cause fetal harm during pregnancy.

Comments:
-This drug should be discontinued as soon as pregnancy is recognized, and the patient should be apprised of the potential harm to the fetus.
-Women of childbearing potential should use adequate methods of contraception during therapy.

Animal studies have failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity in doses approximating the maximum human dose of 40 mg/day. Limited published data has not shown an increased risk of major congenital malformations or miscarriage, although there have been rare reports of congenital anomalies following intrauterine exposure to other statins. Several cases of serious fetal abnormalities were reported in 2 series of 178 and 143 cases among pregnant women taking a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) during the first trimester of pregnancy. These included limb and neurological defects, spontaneous abortions and fetal deaths. In a review of approximately 100 prospectively followed pregnancies in women exposed to simvastatin or lovastatin, the incidences of congenital anomalies, spontaneous abortions, and fetal deaths/stillbirths did not exceed what would be expected in the general population. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.

Serum cholesterol and triglycerides increase during normal pregnancy, and cholesterol products are essential for fetal development. Since atherosclerosis is a chronic process, discontinuation of lipid-lowering drugs during pregnancy should have little impact on long term outcomes of primary hyperlipidemia therapy.

AU TGA pregnancy category D: Drugs which have caused, are suspected to have caused or may be expected to cause, an increased incidence of human fetal malformations or irreversible damage. These drugs may also have adverse pharmacological effects. Accompanying texts should be consulted for further details.

US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X are being phased out.

The following applies to the ingredients: Empagliflozin (found in Jardiance)

Use should be avoided, especially during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

AU TGA pregnancy category: D
US FDA pregnancy category: Not Assigned

Risk Summary: There is limited data in pregnant women to determine a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. Based on animal data, this drug may cause adverse renal effects in the developing fetus.

Comments:
-Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases the risk of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.

Animal studies have revealed evidence of adverse renal changes and embryofetal toxicity. Administration of this drug to pregnant animals during the period of organogenesis at doses up to 154 times the maximum clinical dose based on AUC resulted in maternal/fetal toxicity, malformations, and reduced offspring body weights. In juvenile rats, direct exposure to this drug at doses approximately 13 times the maximum clinical dose caused increased kidney weights and renal tubular/pelvic dilatations. These findings occurred during a period of renal development in rats corresponding to the late second and third trimester of human renal development. Animal studies do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects with respect to fertility. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.

Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases the maternal risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, pre-eclampsia, spontaneous abortions, preterm delivery, stillbirth, and delivery complications. Fetal risks of poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy include an increased risk for major birth defects, stillbirth, and macrosomia-related morbidity.

AU TGA pregnancy category D: Drugs which have caused, are suspected to have caused or may be expected to cause, an increased incidence of human fetal malformations or irreversible damage. These drugs may also have adverse pharmacological effects. Accompanying texts should be consulted for further details.

US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X are being phased out.

The following applies to the ingredients: Rosuvastatin

Contraindicated

Excreted into human milk: Yes (in low amounts)

Comments:
-Due to the potential for serious adverse events in nursing infants and the concern over disruption of infant lipid metabolism, women who require treatment with this drug should not breastfeed.

The following applies to the ingredients: Empagliflozin (found in Jardiance)

Use is not recommended

Excreted into human milk: Unknown
Excreted into animal milk: Yes

Comments:
-A risk to the breastfed infant cannot be excluded; there is a potential for serious adverse effects on postnatal renal development.
-An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

Drug accumulation was observed in the milk of lactating animals. Studies in juvenile rats with direct exposure demonstrated pelvic and tubular dilations of the kidney during maturation. Human kidney maturation occurs in utero and during the first 2 years of life; thus, a potential for serious harm to the developing kidney may exist for infants exposed to this drug during breastfeeding. However, some experts anticipate low amounts of this drug in human breastmilk due to high levels of plasma protein binding.
