Flunarizine should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless explicitly prescribed by a doctor, as its safety in these conditions has not been fully established. The potential benefits must outweigh the potential risks.
Use in children is not generally recommended due to limited data on safety and efficacy.
