There are no large studies looking at the chance�of�birth defects when escitalopram is used�during pregnancy. Since it is very similar�to�citalopram, escitalopram is also unlikely�to�increase the chance�of�birth defects over the background risk.

Autism, cerebral palsy, adhd come under one spectrum. They are behavioral disorders. They are not organic disorders (meaning. They cannot be picked up on sonography or any other radiological investigation whatsoever). Behavioral disorders are detected a few months after birth depending upon the developmental milestones. Cipralex comes in category c of fda drugs. Meaning there are not enough studies to come to conclusion. But it is one of the safer drugs in pregnancy.
