Pregnancy of Ferrous Gluconate (Sangobion) in details
Generally, iron is considered safe for use during pregnancy and is regularly prescribed as a component of prenatal vitamin/mineral supplements (usually as the sulfate salt). However, controversy exists as to whether or not routine iron supplementation is needed in the non-anemic pregnant patient. Anemia may be a risk factor for preterm delivery and low birth weight and should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, either before pregnancy or in the first trimester. Because supplementation with iron may reduce the dietary absorption of zinc, it may be important to assess zinc status as well. Most prenatal vitamins also contain adequate amounts of zinc. Absorption of iron and zinc may be reduced if calcium is also a component of the prenatal multivitamin.
Ferrous Gluconate (Sangobion) has not been formally assigned to a pregnancy category by the FDA. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Human case reports have not revealed evidence of teratogenicity. Ferrous Gluconate (Sangobion) should be given during pregnancy only when the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.

Ferrous Gluconate (Sangobion) breastfeeding
Several reports suggest that iron supplementation during lactation does not significantly affect the total concentration of iron in human milk. Ferrous Gluconate (Sangobion) administration during lactation is generally considered safe for the infant by most clinicians.
One study demonstrated that a moderate iron supplementation of non-anemic nursing mothers (40 mg elemental iron daily over 3 months starting 2 days after delivery) resulted in increased maternal iron reserves, no significant alterations in milk iron concentration or lactoferrin, and no harmful effect on the infant. Another study evaluated oral iron supplementation in 19 anemic women receiving 100 mg elemental iron per day starting 2 days after delivery and continuing for 30 days. Ten non-anemic women had received iron supplementation during pregnancy. Iron and lactoferrin concentrations in milk obtained at 2 and 30 days after delivery did not differ between groups at either stage of lactation.

Pregnancy of Folic Acid (Sangobion) in details
Folic Acid (Sangobion) has been assigned to pregnancy category A by the FDA. During pregnancy, Folic Acid (Sangobion) is usually used for the treatment of megaloblastic anemia. Folic Acid (Sangobion) requirements are increased during pregnancy, and deficiency may result in fetal harm. Studies involving pregnant women have failed to reveal evidence that Folic Acid (Sangobion) increases the risk of fetal abnormalities if administered during pregnancy. Folic Acid (Sangobion) should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed.
The recommended daily allowance of Folic Acid (Sangobion) during pregnancy is 400 to 800 mcg/day. Some experts recommend daily doses of 1 mg for twin pregnancies. The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) in the US have recommended 4 mg/day of Folic Acid (Sangobion) at least 4 weeks BEFORE conception through the first 3 months of pregnancy for women who have had an infant or fetus with a neural tube defect and 400 mcg/day for all women of childbearing age. Interestingly, neonates with normal serum folate concentrations have been born to folate-deficient mothers. It appears that the fetus can extract folate from maternal plasma, convert folate to a form that is not available for reverse transfer, and use it for its own advantage. Dietary Folic Acid (Sangobion) is available from green leaves, such as asparagus, broccoli, spinach, and lettuce--each of which contains greater than 1 mg Folic Acid (Sangobion) per 100 grams dry weight. Excessive cooking can remove or destroy the food content of folate.

Folic Acid (Sangobion) breastfeeding
In one study, lactating mothers were given 1 mg of Folic Acid (Sangobion) per day. There were significant correlations between the maternal and infant plasma and RBC folate concentrations. The average maternal plasma Folic Acid (Sangobion) concentration was 5.9 ng/mL, which correlated with an average milk Folic Acid (Sangobion) level of 141.4 ng/mL and an average infant plasma Folic Acid (Sangobion) concentration of 29 ng/mL. The calculated total intake of Folic Acid (Sangobion) by nursing infants was 14 to 25 mcg/kg/day. Colostrum is relatively low in folate, but milk folate increases as lactation proceeds. Folate levels in breast-fed infants are significantly higher than in the mothers.
Folic Acid (Sangobion) is actively excreted into human milk. No adverse effects in nursing infants have been associated with the use of Folic Acid (Sangobion) during lactation. Folic Acid (Sangobion) is considered compatible with breast-feeding by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The recommended maternal daily allowance of Folic Acid (Sangobion) during lactation is 500 mcg. Supplementation is not typically needed in mothers with good nutritional habits.

Pregnancy of Vitamin B12 (Sangobion) in details
Category B: Either animal-reproduction studies have not demonstrated a foetal risk but there are no controlled studies in pregnant women or animal-reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect (other than a decrease in fertility) that was not confirmed in controlled studies in women in the 1st trimester (and there is no evidence of a risk in later trimesters).
