Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding

During pregnancy and lactation, the use of vinpocetine is contraindicated.

Pregnancy: Vinpocetine crosses the placenta, but is found in the placenta and fetal blood in lower concentrations than in the mother's blood. No teratogenic or embryotoxic effect was noted. In preclinical studies, administration of the drug in high doses in some cases caused placental bleeding and spontaneous abortion, mainly as a result of increased placental blood flow.

Lactation: Vinpocetine is excreted in breast milk. In studies using the radioactive isotope vinpocetine, the radioactivity of breast milk was ten times higher than that in the mother's blood. The amount excreted in milk within 1 hour is 0.25 percent of the administered dose of the drug. Since vinpocetine is excreted in mother's milk, and there is no data on the effects on the newborn, the use of vinpocetine during breastfeeding is contraindicated.
