Urbanol And Pregnancy

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

Hi. I have taken Venlor& Urbanol throughout my pregnancy. Inam still taking it. How does it affect my baby while I am breastfeeding? ## Hello, Chantelle! How are you? In most countries, both of these medications are considered unsafe to use during pregnancy and while breast feeding, due to the risk of fetal toxicity and the fact that they are known to pass into breast milk to the baby. Is your doctor aware that you are taking them? The U.S. FDA warns that medications, such as Urbanol, also carry the risk of being habit forming and some infants have experienced withdrawals at birth. It could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. ## Has anyone been on Venlor 225mg, Urbanol 10mg, and Tripilene 25mg together? If so, how did it go?
