Therapies were classified as MTX, non-biologic DMARDs (NB-DMARD), TNF inhibitors (TNFi), other biologics (oBiologic) or all DMARDs (NB-DMARD or TNFi or oBiologic). For more information, see the section on General principles of managing DMARDs in the CKS topic on DMARDs. Indications include[1]: 1. 2001] 4268 Danish women with miscarriages were compared with 29,750 women with live births and found a higher risk of miscarriage with NSAID use. A full-term infant was born without health issues [Ojeda-Uribe et al. Much of the data is isolated to exposures within the first trimester. No congenital abnormalities occurred in those exposed prior to conception [Cassina et al. 9. 4. This study also compared previous studies of GC exposures and described the published range of odds ratios as 0.8–2.1 for congenital abnormalities and 0.6–5.2 for oral cleft [Bay Bjorn et al. It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. 2009]. 3. Animal studies are limited; no teratogen effect has been noted but B cells have been demonstrated to be reduced in offspring (see the Rituximab Prescription Insert at http://www.gene.com/download/pdf/rituxan_prescribing.pdf). [A survey among breeders of South American camelids concerning breeding and reproduction management]. It has an active metabolite with a very long half-life which needs to be actively removed, (using colestyramine or activated charcoal), if there are serious adverse effects before starting other DMARDs or before conception. 2012]. Box 1: Adverse pregnancy outcomes due to uncontrolled inflammatory rheumatic diseases. There is no evidence, however, that conception is enhanced by stopping SSZ for 3 months prior to conception unless conception is delayed >12 months when other causes of infertility should also be considered (LOE 3, GOR D, SOA 97.4%). Mean cell volume more than 105 fL. In the TREAT registry of patients with Crohn’s disease including 142 pregnancies involving women and treated male partners, infliximab as compared with other therapies for IBD did not have any difference in rates of live births or congenital abnormalities [Lichtenstein et al. The prescribing of many drugs in pregnancy is complicated by a lack of knowledge regarding their compatibility leading to patient misinformation and withdrawal/denial of disease-ameliorating therapies. If you have the appropriate software installed, you can download article citation data to the citation manager of your choice. Indications: ... Pregnancy and breast feeding. Concern has been raised about hematologic side effects for infants as well as infection. In a case-control study examining 4705 cases of spontaneous abortion, of which 7.5% were exposed to NSAIDs, it was reported that there was an increased risk with NSAID use (odds ratio [OR] 2.43, 95% CI 2.12–2.79) [Nakhai-Pour et al. 2012]. M A Nevertheless, several earlier studies have observed no differences in rates of adverse fetal or pregnancy outcomes, including congenital anomalies [Buchanan et al. Conflict of interest statementNone of the authors have any relevant financial interests to disclose. It is also recommended that methotrexate be stopped at least 3 months prior to attempting conception (see the Methotrexate Prescription Insert available at http://www.rheumatrex.info/pdf/RheumatrexPackageInsert.pdf). There is no human evidence of increased congenital abnormalities on LEF if washout is given. Østensen Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder that can affect women in their reproductive years. Summary of drug compatibility in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please check for further notifications by email. A patient who received two doses of certolizumab during pregnancy had a full-term pregnancy with the infant suffering no consequences [Oussalah et al. literature, agreed upon these guidelines. Little data is available with regard to rituximab exposure in male partners. Some society journals require you to create a personal profile, then activate your society account, You are adding the following journals to your email alerts, Did you struggle to get access to this article? DMARDs should be initiated by hospital specialists only and should not be initiated in the Primary Care setting. In a Danish cohort of children born to women with Crohn’s disease, the use of sulfasalazine was not associated with low birth weight, congenital abnormalities, or prematurity [Norgard et al. Optimizing disease control prior to conception is key, but utilizing disease-modifying treatments effectively and safely throughout pregnancy and lactation requires open dialogue and shared decision making. Drug level monitoring has been recommended to help with counseling regarding the optimal timing of pregnancy [Brent, 2001]. 1985]. 2008]. Indications: (Licensed) RA and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Male patients with RA should be counseled regarding this uncertainty. MTX cannot be recommended in breastfeeding because of theoretical risks and insufficient outcome data (LOE 4, GOR D, SOA 100%). Rituximab is considered to be category C (Table 1) with limited data available. These Yorkshire Guidelines are felt to represent a safe level of clinical care for patients requiring DMARD treatment, while keeping monitoring time and expenditure to an acceptable level. Despite this FDA category, its demonstrated safety in human studies has made it a safer option for use in pregnancy. The operation that you have selected will move away from the current results page, your download options will not persist. 1981]. 2020-11-16T15:54:00Z . 1996; Costedoat-Chalumeau et al. Sorted by Relevance . Given the absence of safety data on leflunomide and breastfeeding, its use is discouraged (see the Leflunomide Prescription Insert at http://products.sanofi.us/arava/arava.html). Cholestyramine wash out procedures have thus been identified to augment leflunomide elimination (see the Leflunomide Prescription Insert at http://products.sanofi.us/arava/arava.html) and are often recommended prior to conception. AZA is compatible with paternal exposure (LOE 2+, GOR D, SOA 100%). 2010]. The choice of disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) or biologic response modifier (‘biologic’) can be influenced by the desire of the patient to start a family and must be taken into consideration, in addition to discussing the risk of the medication during preconception, pregnancy and lactation. TCZ should be stopped at least 3 months before conception, but unintentional exposure early in the first trimester is unlikely to be harmful (LOE 3, GOR D, SOA 96.8%). International guidelines put Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) at the heart of RA treatment and emphasize shared decision making . Table 1. 2007] reported that children born to mothers with Crohn’s disease were more likely to be born prematurely and have congenital abnormalities when their mothers were exposed to azathioprine/6-mercaptopurine. Sorted by Relevance . Your comment will be reviewed and published at the journal's discretion. 2011]. Unintentional exposure early in the first trimester is unlikely to be harmful (LOE 3, GOR D, SOA 100%). 2012]. DMARD MONITORING GUIDELINES – FOR GP INFORMATION 10.10.08 Azathioprine A. Its transplacental passage is demonstrated by equal maternal serum and cord blood levels [Jarnerot et al. A single woman continued anakinra during breastfeeding with no abnormalities identified with regard to neonatal growth [Berger et al. In a prospective study of 83 women exposed to TNFα inhibitors, there was no difference in the rate of major congenital anomalies compared with those both disease-matched and those without any exposures. MMF remains contraindicated during pregnancy (LOE 2−, GOR D, SOA 100%). Østensen The recommendations below are from NICE technology appraisal guidance 72. Although cortisone was not the true explanation, the subsequent decades saw an upsurge in an interest to gain better understanding of the immunological and hormonal changes of pregnancy and its influence on RA disease activity [Amin et al. 2007]. The outcome of pregnancy was not the object of these analyses. Leflunomide is FDA approved for the treatment of RA and often used in cases of methotrexate intolerance [Singh et al. d Suggested monitoring of maternal blood pressure, renal function, blood glucose and drug levels. Staging pregnancy-related acute kidney injury according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines: what are the barriers? The risk was more with NSAID use within one week of miscarriage [Nielsen et al. Tacrolimus is compatible throughout pregnancy at the lowest effective dose (LOE 2−, GOR D, SOA 99.5%). Psoriasis. Appropriate discussion with all young and middle-aged males and contraception counselling as necessary is thus important. It is labelled FDA category C (Table 1). The British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) has published new guidelines on prescribing anti-rheumatic drugs in pregnancy and breastfeeding to aid decision making in clinical practice. There are no data on anakinra use in breastfeeding (SOA 100%). Adapted from RBFT DMARD monitoring guidelines June 2011 Page 3of 6 x Conception and pregnancy – Methotrexate is teratogenic. This risk was higher with prolonged use (greater than 1 week) or use near conception [Li et al. While there is significant data regarding the risk of methotrexate both in terms of spontaneous abortions and congenital abnormalities, there are reports of pregnant women with exposure to methotrexate having no complications. Limitations of safety data on newer medications should be discussed as human experience is limited and mostly restricted to cases of accidental exposure during conception or early pregnancy besides animal and preclinical data. Yet, there are reports suggesting that these medications may be associated with an increased risk for miscarriage when used early in pregnancy. 2011] with known outcomes available in 153 pregnancies. There is no consensus on best practices for drug management during pregnancy by rheumatologists. Nonetheless, NSAID use in early pregnancy warrants caution. This should not lead to underestimation of the risk of methotrexate during pregnancy, but is data that can be used to counsel women with unintentional pregnancies in the setting of methotrexate exposure. Prednisolone is compatible with paternal exposure (LOE 2+, GOR D, SOA 98.9%). BSR and BHPR guideline on prescribing drugs in pregnancy and breastfeeding - Part I: standard and biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and corticosteroids; British Society of Rheumatology, January 2016 A patient with juvenile idiopathic arthritis who received a total of 100 mg of methotrexate over the first 8 weeks of pregnancy delivered an infant with aminopterin syndrome [Buckley et al. For more information view the SAGE Journals Article Sharing page. Hydroxychloroquine is frequently used in RA as part of triple therapy in conjunction with methotrexate and sulfasalazine [Singh et al. All patients with exposure during pregnancy delivered liveborn infants while those with exposure previously, the vast majority, 93.1%, had a liveborn infant. It can even manifest itself for the first time during pregnancy or early in the post-partum period. The following guidance applies to all of the DMARDs included in this shared care guideline. While NSAIDs are a relatively safe option for managing pain symptoms in pregnant women with RA, they do need to be used with caution, especially early in pregnancy, and are contraindicated in the last trimester of pregnancy. This can result in fetal pulmonary hypertension and even death [Koren et al. DMARD MONITORING GUIDELINES – FOR GP INFORMATION 10.10.08 Sulfasalazine A. Depending on the DMARD being monitored, results needing immediate discussion with the specialist team (whilst withholding the drug) include: White cell count less than 3.5 x 10 9 /L. Breathe fresh air deeply through your nose; sometimes inhaling peppermint or drinking ginger tea helps. I have read and accept the terms and conditions, View permissions information for this article. Recommendations for angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) in pregnancy and breastfeeding ACEIs should be stopped as soon as possible when pregnancy is confirmed in the first trimester and, if necessary, an alternative antihypertensive compatible with pregnancy should be given (LOE 2 ++, GOR B, SOA 100%).

Counselling the mother on the low risk of fetal oral clefts with first trimester exposure is reasonable. 2013], this study does not capture the rates of spontaneous abortions or the outcomes of pregnancies. For patients who discontinue all DMARDs, only prednisone, NSAIDs and analgesics remain as therapeutic options in case of a relapse. 2002]. 2008], but only to flare post-partum. There is a report of transient neutropenia in a newborn born to a mother treated with sulfasalazine during pregnancy that resolved spontaneously in approximately 6 weeks [Levi et al. There are no data on RTX use in breastfeeding (SOA 100%). (, Ojeda-Uribe, M., Afif, N., Dahan, E., Sparsa, L., Haby, C., Sibilia, J.. (, Ost, L., Wettrell, G., Bjorkhem, I., Rane, A. The team did find, however, that the rate of elective termination was significantly higher among women who took DMARDs than among those who did not, at 25.4% versus 5.9%. To ensure low/no levels of drug in cord blood at delivery, ETA and ADA should be avoided in the third trimester and IFX stopped at 16 weeks. While not used as frequently with the availability of newer drugs, azathioprine is FDA approved for treatment of RA (see that Azathioprine Prescription Insert at http://www.tritonpharma.ca/uploads/files/pdf/imuran-tablet-en.pdf). Based on very limited evidence, LEF may be compatible with paternal exposure (LOE 4, GOR D, SOA 98.9%). Of the 39 men being treated with sulfasalazine, 3 were able to able to have successful pregnancies. Sulfasalazine is considered to be FDA category B (Table 1; see also the Sulfasalazine Prescription Insert at http://labeling.pfizer.com/ShowLabeling.aspx?id=524) and based on the balance of evidence available, can be used safely during pregnancy. INTRODUCTION Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are added at increasingly … When attempting to become pregnant, the median time from stopping sulfasalazine and having a successful pregnancy was 2.5 months [O’Morain et al. Based on limited evidence, low-dose MTX may be compatible with paternal exposure (LOE 2+, GOR D, SOA 95.8%). 2012]. Based on the evidence available from animal and human data, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established pregnancy risk categories of drugs (Table 1). Rituximab is frequently reserved for patients who have failed to have their disease controlled by combination DMARDs or TNFα inhibitors [Singh et al. 2009]. The efficacy of most classical DMARDs is not apparent until after 3-6 months of use, a delay that might not be acceptable for the pre-pregnancy patient, nor is it suitable for the patient who is already pregnant. Reference lists of relevant articles, books, guidelines and prescribing information were searched for additional studies. There are insufficient data to recommend BEL in pregnancy. I.G. A discussion of the need for contraception and safest time for conception is critical. A description of evidence and full recommendations are given in the full guideline provided as supplementary data , available at Rheumatology Online. 1986]. Well-established data supporting the safe use of medications in pregnancy and lactation are available for a few medications, while for many others the safety profile is much less certain and guidance is based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. Live births occurred in 90 (58.8%), spontaneous abortions in 33 (21.6%), and therapeutic abortions in 28 (18.3%). G. Notable drug interactions (refer to BNF and SPC) (1) Antacids: Containing aluminium and magnesium hydroxide cause a decrease in the absorption of MMF by 33% and bioavailability by 17%. This review provides evidence-based recommendations for use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biologic response modifiers to guide rheumatologists in their care of pregnant and lactating women with RA and serves as a guide to counsel male patients with RA on family planning decisions. et al. 2012]. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Based on limited evidence, LEF may not be a human teratogen but it is still not recommended in women planning pregnancy (LOE 2+, GOR C, SOA 100%). 1972]. has received individual support to attend meetings from GlaxoSmithKline, UCB and Astra-Zeneca, chairing fees from Bristol-Myers Squibb and honoraria from GlaxoSmithKline/Human Genome Sciences, Medimmune, INOVA Diagnostics and Merck. Some of these medications can cause liver damage, others may not be safe when taken along with vaccines, and some are not recommended if one is pregnant or trying to become pregnant. 2012]. Effect of RA and medications on baby: Because controlling RA typically requires disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), there’s a role for safe DMARD use before and during pregnancy, says Dr. Birru Talabi. The prescription insert and expert opinion recommend against its use due to the theoretical risk [Ostensen et al. Per the prescription insert, anakinra should only be used in pregnancy if clearly required (see the Anakinra Prescription Insert at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2003/anakamg062703LB.pdf). 2004]. According to the manufacturers’ package insert, no teratogenicity has been demonstrated in animal models but at high dose there was increased risk of abortion (see that Tocilizumab Prescription Insert at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2010/125276lbl.pdf). There is little evidence of fetal risk with sulfasalazine, as long as the expectant mother is also … Guidelines for the management of pregnant women with RA have been developed, although evidence is limited [15] .

Further, there was no difference between major or minor congenital abnormalities [Chambers et al. L2 Guidelines for safe use of these medications will be provided when possible, including for men. There are no data on TCZ use in breastfeeding (SOA 99.5%). 2006]. M.K. Congenital abnormalities occurred in two with one infant suffering a clubfoot and another infant with ventral septal defect, patent foramen ovale, and patent ductus arteriosus. For more information view the SAGE Journals Sharing page. (, Suominen, J., Wang, Y., Kaipia, A., Toppari, J. Even with lower doses (5 mg weekly for 8 weeks) reports of toxicity including skull abnormalities have been noted [Powell and Ekert, 1971]. There was no demonstrable difference in sperm measurements among those treated with TNFα compared with healthy controls.
