The use of adequate contraception should be considered for women of childbearing potential. For women planning pregnancy, continued contraception may be considered for 5 months after the last Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) dose due to its elimination rate, but the need for treatment of the woman should also be taken into account.
Data from more than 1300 prospectively collected pregnancies exposed to Cimzia with known pregnancy outcomes, including more than 1000 pregnancies exposed during the first trimester, does not indicate a malformative effect of Cimzia. Further data are being collected as the available clinical experience is still limited to conclude that there is no increased risk associated with Cimzia administration during pregnancy.
Cimzia should only be used during pregnancy if clinically needed.
