Hi Richa - Fludac is reported to contain the active ingredient Fluoxetine, which is an anti-depressant.

In the United States, it belongs to pregnancy category C. This means "Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks." [1]

That being said, if you are going to be taking this medication, it should be done under the supervision of your doctor to ensure the health and safety of your unborn child. I hope this information helps!
