Research Notes on Celexa and Pregnancy
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has labeled Celexa (citalopram) as a category C drug, meaning the effects of the medication have not been completely studied in pregnant women. Studies have found, Celexa may cause cardiovascular and skeletal abnormalities, growth retardation, and a decrease in survival rate in infants.1 Celexa may also increase the chance of miscarriage.2
Fast Facts:
- Breastfeeding should be avoided while taking Celexa, as it is known to pass through breast milk causing somnolence, weight loss, and poor eating habits.1
- Celexa is an antidepressant medication used to treat depression.3
- Celexa should not be used in those under the age of 18.3
