Women who take some anti-depressant drugs during late pregnancy may be putting their babies at risk.
The Health Canada department has issued an advisory about the following drugs: bupropion, citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, mirtazapine, paroxetine, sertraline and venlafaxine.
Some studies reveal that taking Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors or other newer anti-depressants during late pregnancy can result in complications at birth with babies requiring prolonged hospitalization, and breathing support.
