Pregnancy
Studies in rats and rabbits exceeding 100 times the maximum recommended human doses, revealed no embryotoxicity or teratogenicity. Since there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, and since animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, Visken® (pindolol), as with any drug, should be employed during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Nursing Mothers
Since Visken® (pindolol) is secreted in human milk, nursing should not be undertaken by mothers receiving the drug.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.[1]
