Pregnancy & Lactation
Pansec is classified as a Category B drug by the US FDA for pregnancy. However, there are no well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Pansec should be used during pregnancy only if necessary. Pansec is excreted in human milk, so a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or the drug based on the benefit to the mother.
Precautions & Warnings
Patients should avoid splitting, chewing, or crushing the tablet. Long-term use may cause a decrease in vitamin B12 absorption and increase the risk of bone-related disorders.
