PREGNANCY

Pregnancy Category C:  Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with KRONOFED-A® medications. It is also not known whether KRONOFED-A® medications can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. KRONOFED-A® medications should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Nursing Mothers:  Due to the possible passage of pseudo-ephedrine and chlorpheniramine into breast milk, and, because of the higher than usual risk for infants from sympathomimetic amines and antihistamines, the benefit to the mother vs. the potential risk should be considered and a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug.

CAUTION

Federal law prohibits dispensing without prescription.
