Pregnancy of Ethambutol Luganskiy in details

Ethambutol Luganskiy has been assigned to a pregnancy category C by the FDA. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. There are reports of ophthalmic abnormalities occurring in infants born to women on antituberculous therapy that included Ethambutol Luganskiy. Ethambutol Luganskiy should only be given during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.

Ethambutol Luganskiy crosses the placenta. In one patient, maternal blood, placental blood and cord blood concentrations were 5.5, 5.0, and 4.1, respectively, immediately following delivery. No adverse effects were reported in the infant who had been exposed since 23 weeks gestation. Bobrowitz and colleagues studied 42 pregnancies which involved Ethambutol Luganskiy exposure in addition to other antituberculous agents. The majority of these pregnancies were treated throughout gestation. No consistent pattern was noted in the reported fetal adverse effects, which included supernumerary nipple, small umbilical hernia, mild right tibial torsion, congenital dislocation of hips, left hydrocele, minimal metatarsus adductus, and skin tag on finger. Other reports also have not associated Ethambutol Luganskiy with teratogenic effects. The initial therapy of active tuberculosis in pregnant patients recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention includes Ethambutol Luganskiy. Ethambutol Luganskiy is also recommended by the American Thoracic Society in cases of suspected drug-resistant tuberculosis.
