Mirtazipine while 6 weeks pregnant. was prescribed 3 years ago for appetite, nausea, sleep. is it safe to keep taking it? i don't want to harm my baby
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends...: Mirtazipine is a category C medication- "Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks."
