USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
Children and adolescents
ROWEEPRA is not indicated for use in children and adolescents below 16 years on its own (monotherapy).
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.
ROWEEPRA should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefits justifies the potential risk to the baby. A risk of birth defects for your unborn child cannot be completely excluded. ROWEEPRA has shown unwanted reproductive effects in animal studies at dose levels higher than you would need to control your seizures. Breast-feeding is not recommended during treatment.
Driving and using machines
ROWEEPRA may impair your ability to drive or operate any tools or machinery, as it may make you feel sleepy. This is more likely at the beginning of treatment or after an increase in the dose. You should not drive or use machines until it is established that your ability to perform such activities is not affected.
