Can I take epilepsy tablets when I am pregnant?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Tablet Tegretol should not be used in pregnancy. Only pregnancy-safe drugs should be taken during pregnancy. It is categorized as category D of FDA drugs in pregnancy. Category D means, there is enough evidence that it causes risk to the fetus.

So, I would advise you to get back to your neurologist and discuss with him to shift you on safer anti-epileptics like Levetiracetam.

• Susten (Progesterone) is suggested as it reduces the risk of spontaneous abortions in high risk patients.

• Heart rate of fetus of 129 bpm is not very low, but since you are a high risk candidate, it should be kept under monitoring.

• As far as the Frisium is concerned, it is FDA category C , that means risk cannot be ruled out. So, it should be avoided as far as possible.
