Also, what type of fish oil capsules would be best during pregnancy?
Answer Hello Jennifer, I’m always encouraged to see people plan pregnancies and carefully considered their medications. Is unsure you know that the first trimester of pregnancy is when the fetus develops all of its organs. The following to trimesters are for maturation and growth. You mentioned that you are taking Lexapro and in tends to discontinue that. I think that that is why is because Lexapro is a Category C medication. In the classification of medications, significant emphasis is placed on the safety in pregnancy category. In fact I pasted in the table on safety and pregnancy from the Drug Information Handbook. Category A agents are unilaterally safe in pregnancy. Category B agents are also considered safe. Category C and below are considered unsafe in pregnancy. You may refer to the table for specific definitions. I had mentioned that Lexapro is a category C. medication, which designates it relatively unsafe in pregnancy. The reason for this is that it’s a relatively new agent
