¿Es lithium chloride seguro durante el embarazo?

Lithium salts (including lithium chloride) have been the subject of ECHA assessment for harmonised classification for reproductive toxicity and RAC/REACH documentation lists lithium chloride among lithium salts discussed for reproductive classification; animal studies and clinical literature on therapeutic lithium show developmental effects (including cardiac malformations in humans at therapeutic systemic exposures and developmental effects in multiple animal studies), supporting a suspected reproductive hazard rather than a proven Category 1 CMR. Dermal/topical cosmetic use would generally give low but measurable systemic exposure compared with oral/therapeutic use.

¿Es lithium chloride seguro durante la lactancia?

Systemic lithium (from lithium salts) crosses into breast milk and can affect nursing infants at therapeutic doses; animal data show neonatal toxicity after maternal or direct exposures. For topical cosmetic use systemic transfer is expected to be low but not zero, so breastfeeding risk is classified as suspected (h=2) with a demonstrated mechanism (m=2) and low but measurable exposure (e=1).

¿Es lithium chloride seguro para la piel del bebé?

No infant‑specific safety data for topical lithium chloride were found, but the systemic developmental/ neonatal toxicity seen in animals and in clinical lithium use means hazard remains 'suspected' (h=2). Because infant skin has higher absorption/surface‑area‑to‑weight, exposure score is increased by +1 relative to adults (from 1 to 2) though mechanism and hazard are not changed absent infant‑specific mechanistic evidence.
