Can I take Mirapex ER while pregnant?

Category: Mirapex

Animal data has suggested that Mirapex ER may cause fetal harm. However, there are no clinical data on the medication’s effects on pregnant patients, so it is unclear whether the therapy is safe in this population. Patients should talk with their doctor about any plans for being pregnant while on Mirapex ER.
