It is important to always weigh the benefits and risks of taking any medication during pregnancy. In the case of anxiety or depression, it is no different. It is important to consider the risks and benefits of treating these conditions versus not treating them, as both can impact the health of the mother and the fetus. If taking cipralex is necessary during pregnancy, closer monitoring is recommended. Some studies have shown potential complications, while others have not reported a significant increase in problems or malformations with the use of cipralex. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
