Section 4.6 updated as follows:
Pregnancy
There are no or limited amounts of data from the use of Guaifenesin in pregnant women. Animal studies are insufficient with respect to reproductive toxicity (see section 5.3). Benylin Non-Drowsy Chesty Coughs is not recommended during pregnancy and in women of childbearing potential not using contraception.
Breastfeeding
Guaifenesin is excreted in breast milk in small amounts. There is insufficient information on the effects of Guaifenesin in newborns/infants. A decision must be made whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue/abstain from Benylin Non-Drowsy Chesty Coughs therapy, taking into account the benefit of breast feeding for the child and the benefit of therapy for the woman.
Fertility
There is insufficient information available to determine whether guaifenesin has the potential to impair fertility
