Levocarnitine is a naturally occurring substance required in mammalian energy metabolism.

🔹 Pregnancy & Lactation
There is no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. This drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Levocarnitine supplementation in nursing mothers has not been specifically studied. In nursing mothers receiving levocarnitine, any risks to the child of excess carnitine intake need to be weighed against the benefits of levocarnitine supplementation to the mother. Consideration may be given to discontinuation of nursing or of levocarnitine treatment.

Gastrointestinal reactions may result from a too rapid consumption of Carnitab. The safety and efficacy of oral Carnitab has not been evaluated in patients with renal insufficiency. Chronic administration of high doses of oral Carnitab in patients with severely compromised renal function or in ESRD patients on dialysis may result in accumulation of the potentially toxic metabolites, trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine-N oxide (TMAO), since these metabolites are normally excreted in the urine.
