Research on animal reproduction has shown adverse effects on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but if the potential benefits can be guaranteed, the use of drugs in pregnant women can be carried out despite the enormous potential risk.

The results of studies in animals cannot always be used as a safety measure of drug use in humans. Because well-controlled clinical research has not been conducted, the use of drugs containing Aripiprazole by pregnant women should be consulted with a doctor.
