effect of Mebendazole in Pregnancy, Fetal Health
and Breast feeding
Pregnancy
. Treatment of reproductive-age women is strongly recommended in areas of widespread hookworm infection and its related anemia. In some endemic areas, treatment of all pregnant women after the 1st trimester effectively reduces the incidences of IUGR and perinatal death. Fetal Health
There are no adequate reports or well-controlled studies in human fetuses. It is unknown whether mebendazole crosses the human placenta. Congenital helminthic infection in humans is rare. No increase in risk for congenital malformation or other adverse outcomes was noted in the largest prospective study with 140 1st trimester exposures. There are no reported sequelae from 2nd or 3rd trimester exposure. Rodent studies suggest mebendazole is embryotoxic and teratogenic at fairly low doses. Breastfeeding
There is no published experience in nursing women. It is unknown whether mebendazole enters human breast milk.
