No data: There is no data available to see if it causes birth defects. It is not approved for use in pregnant women because no one knows. So it would be smart to wait. Also, waiting to see if the bilirubin level returns to normal is a good idea. When both of you are healthy, that is the best time to consider conception. Also, what other meds does he(or you) take? http://teratology.org/updates/60pg161.pdf
