¿Debo evitar ichthammol durante el embarazo? | VeriMom
No harmonised CLP classification for ichthammol (ammonium bituminosulfonate) was located and there are no SCCS/CIR safety opinions identifying reproductive toxicity; product monographs and regulators note that pregnancy use has not been systematically studied but that topical use is traditional. ECHA/REACH dossier and national product information state limited data on pregnancy, and some Safety Data Sheets list reproductive hazard H361 based on notifiers (not harmonised), so by priority these do not establish a confirmed reproductive hazard; systemic exposure from typical topical use is low but measurable, so exposure is scored as 1.

FAQ
- ¿Es ichthammol seguro durante el embarazo?
- No harmonised CLP classification for ichthammol (ammonium bituminosulfonate) was located and there are no SCCS/CIR safety opinions identifying reproductive toxicity; product monographs and regulators note that pregnancy use has not been systematically studied but that topical use is traditional. ECHA/REACH dossier and national product information state limited data on pregnancy, and some Safety Data Sheets list reproductive hazard H361 based on notifiers (not harmonised), so by priority these do not establish a confirmed reproductive hazard; systemic exposure from typical topical use is low but measurable, so exposure is scored as 1.
- ¿Es ichthammol seguro durante la lactancia?
- There are no high-quality data showing ichthammol is a lactation hazard or excreted in breast milk; product information states breastfeeding/pregnancy have not been investigated and recommends medical advice for large-area or prolonged use. Topical/mucosal exposure suggests low but measurable maternal systemic absorption, so exposure scored 1.
- ¿Es ichthammol seguro para la piel del bebé?
- No infant-specific reproductive or developmental toxicity data were found. Because ichthammol can be absorbed topically to a measurable extent in adults, infant skin (0–3 yr) has a higher surface-area-to-weight ratio and immature barrier, so exposure score is increased by +1 (adult 1 → infant 2). Avoid large-area or occluded application on infants pending clinical advice.
