Is it safe to use Vraylar while pregnant and breastfeeding?

Vraylar is not advised to be taken during pregnancy because it has not been studied in pregnant women. Babies born to mothers who used similar drugs during the third trimester of pregnancy experienced uncontrolled muscle movement or withdrawal symptoms at birth, such as tremors, agitation, and feeding difficulties. It is recommended that you join the registry if you are presently pregnant and taking Vraylar (cariprazine). If you have any questions concerning treatment for schizophrenia or depression during pregnancy, contact your provider.

It is unknown whether Vraylar is safe to use while breastfeeding. The drug's effects on breast milk and breastfed children have not been researched. Consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. They will assist you in determining the best treatment or feeding plan for you and your child.
