Pregnancy-Lactation

Pregnancy There are no available data with use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risks; in animal reproduction studies, oral administration of tolterodine and its 5-HMT metabolite to pregnant mice during organogenesis did not produce adverse developmental outcomes at doses approximately 9 to 12 times the clinical exposure at a dose of 20 mg/kg/day; however, higher doses produced adverse developmental outcomes Lactation There is no information on presence in human milk, effects on breastfed infant, or on milk production; based on limited data, tolterodine is excreted into milk in mice in low amounts; the development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from drug or from underlying maternal condition
