8 Use in Specific Populations

8.1 Pregnancy

PLLR conversion, additions and/or revisions underlined:

Risk Summary

There are no available data on VUSION Ointment use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for adverse developmental outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, prolonged gestation, increased number of resorptions, and decreased numbers of live young were observed after oral administration of miconazole nitrate during organogenesis to pregnant rats and rabbits. No comparisons of animal exposure with human exposure may be calculated due to minimal systemic exposure in humans after topical administration of VUSION.

In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
