Pregnancy: No teratogenic effects were demonstrated in rats and rabbits receiving 20 and 10 times the maximum daily human mg/ Kg dose, respectively. Adequate and well controlled studies in humans have not been done. Sisalon should be used during pregnancy if clearly needed.
Lactation: There is no data available on the secretion of Sertraline in breast milk, hence use in nursing mothers is not recommended.
Observational data indicate an increased risk (less than 2-fold) of postpartum hemorrhage following SSRI/SNRI exposure within the month prior to birth.
