Risperdal consta should be used during pregnancy only if the anticipated benefit outweighs the risk the risks to your baby associated with taking lithium during pregnancy are: heart defects. Taking lithium in early pregnancy increases the risk that your baby's heart might not develop properly so before planning pregnancy ask treating psychiatrist as he/she can change drugs if required.
