Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

During pregnancy and during breastfeeding the use of Lasonil Antidolore is contraindicated since this drug causes inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis: this can negatively affect the pregnancy and/or embryo/fetal development. Results of epidemiological studies suggest an increased risk of miscarriage and cardiac malformation and gastroschisis after the use of a prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor in the early stages of pregnancy. The absolute risk of cardiac malformations increased from less than 1% to approximately 1.5%. The risk was believed to increase with dose and duration of therapy. In animals, administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors has been shown to result in increased pre- and post-implantation loss and embryo/fetal mortality. Additionally, an increased incidence of various malformations, including cardiovascular, has been reported in animals administered prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors during the organogenetic period.
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 lead to cardiac failure. progress to renal failure with oligo-hydroamniosis;
• the mother and the newborn, at the end of pregnancy, to possible prolongation of bleeding time, and antiaggregant effect that may occur even at very low doses and inhibition of uterine contractions resulting in delayed or prolonged labor. 

Special warnings

If the skin is damaged or if you have open wounds, the application of the drug should be avoided.
The use of Lasonil Antidolore is not recommended for women who want to become pregnant, in case of fertility problems, or if you are undergoing fertility investigations, as well as any drug that inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins and cyclooxygenase.
If you use Lasonil Antidolore for a prolonged period of time, local sensitization phenomena such as skin rash or mucosal lesions may occur. To avoid this, this medicine should be used for short periods and, both during treatment and in the two weeks following application, the patient should not expose himself to direct sunlight, including solariums.
Do not use Lasonil Antidolore together with another NSAID or, in any case, do not use more than one NSAID at a time.
