Pregnancy: Wide clinical experience, together with data from animal reproduction studies has not revealed any increase in embryotoxic hazard to the foetus, if used in the recommended dosage during pregnancy. If drug therapy is needed during pregnancy, the use of this drug is acceptable.
Undesirable effects
Flatulence may occur during the first few days of treatment. As a rule it disappears after a couple of days. When dosages higher than instructed are used, abdominal pain and diarrhoea may occur. In such a case the dosage should be decreased.
