Pregnancy of Pyoskin in details
Pyoskin oral rinse has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. Animal studies have failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity when given at high doses. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Pyoskin oral rinse should only be used during pregnancy when need has been clearly established. Pyoskin chips have been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Animal studies have not been conducted with this dosage form; however, high dosages administered by gavage were not associated with fetotoxicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Pyoskin absorption is possible following periodontal insertion; in clinical trials systemic Pyoskin levels were below the limit of detection. Pyoskin chips should only be used during pregnancy when need has been clearly established.
Pyoskin breastfeeding
One infant experienced episodes of bradycardia and cyanotic spells which may have been due to the application of Pyoskin directly onto the mother's breast during breast-feeding. Pyoskin was detected in the blood of the infant.
There are no data on the excretion of Pyoskin into human milk when given as an oral rinse. Some studies have reported that any Pyoskin ingested is poorly absorbed; therefore, excretion into breast milk is unlikely. The manufacturer recommends that caution be used when administering Pyoskin to nursing women.
