Seguridad de los antipsicóticos atípicos en el embarazo

While more research is needed, SGAs do not appear to cause marked congenital foetal harm. According to the available literature, in utero exposure to SGAs is associated with some neonatal and obstetric complications. While olanzapine, and clozapine in particular, is associated with increased risk of gestational diabetes and large for gestational age newborns, from this review of the literature it is clear that treating mental illness during pregnancy is vital and promotes better outcomes for both mother and infant. Currently olanzapine and quetiapine are the most frequently used SGAs during pregnancy, and despite some risks observed, overall safety is reported.
