Is sertraline dangerous for the baby's development?

Sertraline is considered safe for the development of the baby during pregnancy. It is one of the better-studied medications for anxiety and depression during pregnancy, and studies have shown that the risk of abnormalities for the baby is not increased with this medication. It is a molecule that is preferred for use during pregnancy. It is not necessary to have special monitoring for the baby while taking sertraline during pregnancy. Some babies may experience transient symptoms at birth, but these are rare and not dangerous. It is not recommended to stop taking the medication before giving birth. Additionally, sertraline has a low passage into breast milk, making it a good choice for breastfeeding.
