My wife is pregnent after IVF, and takes Welbutrin for depression. Any concerns for this med?
Currently a Class B pregnancy risk drug. This means that animal studies have shown few any mutations or fetal harm. However, like all drugs there are no direct human studies due to ethical reasons. Glaxo has a monitoring number 800-722-9292 if she continues on the medication. This will allow non-controlled monitoring of fetal damage and allow some scientific decisions concerning it’s potential fetal harm.
