Hi, data on use of these medications in pregnancy is limited but studies have not found an increased risk of malformations in the baby with their (fluoxetine, chlorpromazine and risperidone) use in pregnancy. A detailed scan to look at the baby’s body parts should be performed between 18-20 weeks of pregnancy. The medicines should be switched to single instead of multiple if possible after review by the psychiatrist. Also, the baby needs to be observed after birth as it may show withdrawl symptoms (irritability, increased body tone and crying) after birth if the mother is taking the medicines late in pregnancy.
