Abstract
|
|
|
Risperdal Consta is the first long-acting intramuscular formulation of an atypical antipsychotic. It is frequently used to treat schizophrenia, but its safety for use during pregnancy has not been established. We report four cases of patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who took Risperdal Consta during pregnancy. None of the babies born from these four patients had any congenital malformation and all exhibited healthy postnatal development. This paper presents the rationale for the use of antipsychotics including Risperdal Consta during pregnancy and the related problems through a literature review. This serial case report contributes to the body of knowledge regarding the use of antipsychotics during pregnancy.
