¿Debo evitar sodium salicylate durante el embarazo? | VeriMom

Harmonised EU classification: Repr. 2 H361d (suspected of damaging the unborn child) is assigned for salicylates by ECHA/CLP (harmonised classification). Animal studies (rat) report teratogenic and reproductive effects following oral exposure to sodium/salicylic acid; salicylates cross biological barriers and altered pharmacokinetics in pregnancy have been reported, so a demonstrated mechanism (COX/prostaglandin interference and placental transfer) supports a suspected reproductive hazard. For topical cosmetic use, systemic absorption of salicylates is measurable but typically low — therefore exposure is scored as low but non-negligible for pregnant adults. Sources: ECHA harmonised classification and substance pages, CIR salicylic acid/salicylates assessment, and rat developmental studies.

¿Es sodium salicylate seguro durante la lactancia?
Because of the harmonised Repr.2 (H361d) and animal evidence of reproductive/developmental effects, sodium salicylate is flagged for nursing mothers. Salicylates are systemically available after absorption and can be transferred to milk; mechanism evidence (systemic salicylate activity, prostaglandin/COX effects) is demonstrated in animals. Topical cosmetic use typically gives low but measurable systemic exposure, so exposure scoring is 1 for breastfeeding mothers.
¿Es sodium salicylate seguro para la piel del bebé?
Hazard and mechanistic scores follow adult reproductive evidence (harmonised H361d and animal teratogenicity). Per instructions, exposure (e) is increased by +1 for infants 0–3 years because infant skin has higher absorption; salicylates are known to be percutaneously absorbed and systemic exposure from topical use can occur, so baby skin exposure is moderate. There is no infant-specific study showing higher intrinsic hazard, so h/m remain based on the existing reproductive evidence.
