These complications have varied in severity; while in some cases symptoms have been self-limited, in other cases neonates have required intensive care unit support and prolonged hospitalization. pms-Aripiprazole Tablets 2 mg should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
