Effects on pregnancy and newborns: If the patient is or becomes pregnant while taking pms-DULOXETINE, talk to the healthcare professional about the risks and benefits of various treatment options. It is very important that the patient keeps taking pms-DULOXETINE until the healthcare professional tells when to stop.
When pregnant women took drugs in the same group of medications as pms-DULOXETINE, some newborn babies had complications at birth. This happened especially when the medication was taken in the last three months of pregnancy.
Some newborns: Required breathing support, tube feeding and a longer stay in the hospital; had difficulty feeding or breathing, seizures, tense or overly relaxed muscles and were jittery and cried constantly.
These symptoms normally go away over time. If the baby experiences any of these symptoms, contact the healthcare professional as soon as possible.
