Can pregnant women take Risperidone and Clozapine?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Can pregnant women take Risperidone and Chlorpromazine?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have a certain impact on the fetus. The specific situation varies from person to person, and the extent of the impact cannot be predicted at this time. However, under normal circumstances, if the medication is taken for a short duration and in small doses, the impact will not be significant. It is necessary to strictly follow prenatal check-ups. The Down syndrome screening should be done between weeks 14-19 of pregnancy, and the four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening should be performed between weeks 22-26. If necessary, amniocentesis and cord blood analysis should be conducted between weeks 16-20 to clearly determine the baby's development inside the womb.
