==Use in Specific Populations==
 
====Pregnancy====
 
{{pcat}} '''B'''
 
Studies in rats and rabbits exceeding 100 times the maximum recommended human doses, revealed no embryotoxicity or teratogenicity. Since there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, and since animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, Visken® (pindolol), as with any drug, should be employed during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
 
====Nursing Mothers====
 
Since Visken® (pindolol) is secreted in human milk, nursing should not be undertaken by mothers receiving the drug.
 
====Pediatric Use====
 
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = VISKEN (PINDOLOL) TABLET [NOVARTIS PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=07fe9cc3-1ef2-420c-b45d-7f1e894b6ef9 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = }}</ref>
