Pregnancy Category

Name : Not Classified

Description

FDA has not yet classified the drug into a specified pregnancy category.

Mode of Action

Flunarizine has H1-receptor blocking action and calcium-channel blocking effect. It has also been used as an adjunct epileptic therapy for patients refractory to standard treatment regimens.

Interaction

Galactorrhea has been reported in few women on oral contraceptives within the first two months of Flunarizine treatment. Hepatic enzyme inducers such as carbamazepine and phenytoin increase the metabolism of Flunarizine. So an increase in dose of the drug may be required. Concomitant use of a calcium channel blocker and amiodarone has been reported to result in sinus arrest and atrioventricular block.

Pregnancy Category Note

The safety of Flunarizine for use in pregnancy and lactation has not been established.
