GALANTAMINE ER is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to galantamine hydrobromide or to any excipients used in the formulation. Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of GALANTAMINE ER or galantamine tablets in pregnant women. In studies conducted in animals, administration of galantamine during pregnancy resulted in developmental toxicity (increased incidence of morphological abnormalities and decreased growth in offspring) at doses similar to or greater than those used clinically (see Data). In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. Data Animal Data In rats, administration of galantamine (oral doses of 2, 8, or 16
