Studies in pregnant women or animals are not available and, in humans it is not known whether calcium dobesilate crosses the placental barrier. On the other hand, after topical administration lidocaine hydrochloride and dexamethasone acetate are resorbed in variable quantities and can have systemic effects. Moreover, both substances cross the placental barrier. In these conditions, these drug should be administered during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. After oral administration, calcium dobesilate is excreted in the maternal milk in low amounts, but it is not known whether this is the case with local use. After topical administration, lidocaine hydrochloride and dexamethasone acetate are excreted in the maternal milk. As a precaution either the treatment or the breast-feeding should be stopped.

The clinical signs of a possible over dosage are not known.
