RESTRICTIONS OF USE DURING PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:

Use in Pregnancy: Results from animal studies indicate that tetracyclines cross the placenta, are amounts of tetracycline in fetal tissues and can have toxic effects on the developing fetus (retardation in skeletal development).

It has also been evidence of embryotoxicity observed in animals treated during the early stages of pregnancy. So Biotricina should not be used during pregnancy, unless considered essential in which case the maximum daily dose should not be more than a gram.

The use of tetracyclines during tooth development (5th. To the 9th. Month of pregnancy) can cause permanent tooth discoloration (yellow-gray-brown). This adverse reaction is more common with long-term use, but has also been observed after repeated treatments of short duration. Also reported enamel hypoplasia.

Use in lactation: Following intake, tetracycline has been found in the milk of lactating women. As the permanent tooth discoloration may occur in the developing child and has been reported enamel hypoplasia consequently Biotricina should not be administered to nursing women.
