PRECAUTIONS

Pregnancy Category C
  • ….There are no adequate and well controlled studies of NebuPent in pregnant women. A literature report indicated that intravenously administered pentamidine in pregnant rats at 4 mg/kg/day was embryolethal; teratogenicity was not observed in this study. It is unknown whether pentamidine administered via the aerosolized route crosses the placenta at clinically significant concentrations.
