Pregnant women can use the preparation, taking into account the available safety information, the pathogenicity of the circulating strain of the influenza virus and the condition of the pregnant woman after assessing the benefit / risk ratio.
There is limited information regarding breastfeeding in women taking oseltamivir and on the excretion of oseltamivir in breast milk. Limited data indicate that oseltamivir and its active metabolite were found in breast milk, but levels were low, which could lead to a subtherapeutic dose in the infant.
