Pregnancy/Breast Feeding

Pregnancy Category:C

Breastfeeding: Safety unknown. Milk levels of desipramine and its metabolite are low and have not been detected in the serum of breastfed infants. Immediate side effects have not been reported and a limited amount of follow-up has found no adverse effects on infant growth and development. Desipramine use during breastfeeding would usually not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants, especially if the infant is older than 2 months. This information is based upon LactMed database (available at http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT last accessed 12 April 2011). According to manufacturer's data, safe use of this drug during lactation has not been established. Possible benefits must be weighed against the possible hazards to mother and child before administration of this drug in nursing mothers.
