Can I take Neupro while pregnant?

Category: Neupro

Animal studies suggest Neupro may be harmful to a developing fetus, but its effects on pregnant patients remain unknown due to a lack of clinical data. Consequently, the safety of Neupro during pregnancy is uncertain. Patients are advised to consult their healthcare provider if they intend to become pregnant while using Neupro.
