Safety Of Urbanol During Pregnancy

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and getting panic and anxiety attacks. Is it safe to use Urbanol 10mg during my pregnancy?

REPORT

Based on my research, Urbanol (Clobazam) has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Apparently available animal data suggests a developmental toxicity, including long-term effects on neurobehavioral and immunological function, and an increased incidence of fetal abnormalities following oral administration of Clobazam to pregnant animals at doses similar to those used clinically in humans.

Although there is no controlled data in human pregnancy, the data for Clobazam does show an increased risk of adverse effects, including: Neonatal flaccidity, respiratory and feeding difficulties, hypothermia, and a host of other withdrawal symptoms that have been reported in infants born to mothers who received this medication, late in pregnancy.

Therefore, Clobazam is only recommended for use during pregnancy when the benefits for the mother outweighs such risks.

I hope this info helps to answer your question!

Hi. I am 6 weeks pregnant and I have been taking Urbanol for about 4 years for acute anxiety. Is it safe to take Urbanol while pregnant? I have stopped the meds when I found out I was pregnant. But the anxiety now is too much for me.
