Is Abilify Safe During Pregnancy?
Question: is my ablify safe for my baby i take 10mg
Brief Answer:
it's in category C, so there is some risk
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I suppose you're pregnant, right? This is a C category drug which means that there is some risk and the patient may use it only if it is absolutely necessary. Drugs of this category have animal studies with negative effects on fetuses but there are not adequate human studies. So it's up to your doctor to decide whether the expected benefit outweighs the risks.
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
