8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary
There are no available data with AURLUMYN during pregnancy to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are limited published cases of inhaled iloprost use during pregnancy, primarily during the second and third trimesters, that have not identified a drug-associated risk of adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproductive studies, administration of continuous intravenous iloprost to pregnant Han-Wistar rats during organogenesis at doses 2-times the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m 2 basis resulted in adverse developmental outcomes.
