Pregnancy: Animal studies are insufficient with respect to effects on pregnancy and/or embryonal / foetal development. The potential risk for human is unknown. Caution should be exercised when prescribing to pregnant women.

Lactation: Anthranoid glycosides derived from rhubarb may be excreted in breast milk. However, at therapeutic doses of oral solution, it is not known whether these, or salicylic acid are excreted in breast milk. A decision on whether to continue breast feeding or to continue therapy with oral solution should be made taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding to the child and benefit of oral solution therapy to the women.

Overdose associated with local application is unlikely, although the extent of systemic absorption of salicylic acid and anthranoid derivatives are not known. Systemic overdose following ingestion might lead to abdominal cramping, diarrhoea and possibly salicylism (presenting as hyperventilation, tinnitus, deafness, vasodilation, sweating).
