No harm in animals: he U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uses a category system to classify the possible risks to a fetus when a specific medicine is taken during pregnancy. Pregnancy Category B is given to medicines that have not been adequately studied in pregnant humans but do not appear to cause harm to the fetus in animal studies. Medications that have been shown to be safe for use in pregnancy in humans

Latuda: Latuda is FDA Pregnancy Category B. It has not been studied in humans & animal studies have not shown teratogenic effects. However when used during the 3rd trimester – neonates have had withdrawal symptoms & extrapyramidal side effects. Benefit to mother should justify fetal risk.
