Patients w/ prolactin-releasing pituitary tumour, GI haemorrhage, mechanical obstruction or perforation; chronic admin or routine prophylaxis of post-op nausea and vomiting. Concomitant use w/ potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, erythromycin or ritonavir).
Pregnancy:
Category C: Either studies in animals have revealed adverse effects on the foetus (teratogenic or embryocidal or other) and there are no controlled studies in women or studies in women and animals are not available. Drugs should be given only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus.
Category D: There is positive evidence of human foetal risk, but the benefits from use in pregnant women may be acceptable despite the risk (e.g., if the drug is needed in a life-threatening situation or for a serious disease for which safer drugs cannot be used or are ineffective).
