Hi Rochelle, According to Thomas Hale's 2002 book re medications, Cyanocobalamin is Pregnancy Risk Category: A, which is 'Controlled studies in women fail to demonstrate a risk to the foetus in the first trimester (and there is no evidence of a risk in later trimesters) and the possibility of foetal harm appears remote.' Lactation Risk Category: L1, which is 'Safest: Drug which has been taken by a large number of breastfeeding mothers without any observed increase in adverse effects in the infant. Controlled studies in breastfeeding women fail to demonstrate a risk to the infant and the possibility of harm to the breastfeeding infant is remote; or the product is not orally bioavailable in an infant.' Hope this helps, Joy
