Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

I read your query carefully.
Its (citalopram) use is not recommended in pregnancy.
So, i would suggest you to visit your doctor as soon as possible because you cannot withdraw this drug without any doctor supervision.
It has harmful effects on fetus.
And regarding pregnacare carry on taking that.
Take balanced and healthy diet.
Go for regular checkups.
Get your pelvic ultrasound done to check status of fetus.
Immediately visit your doctor in case of any unusual symptom.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
