¿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.

- 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.
