Symbyax Overview

Prescriptions of Symbyax are intended to prevent depressive tendencies in those who suffer from bipolar disorder. However, pregnant mothers who use Symbyax may put their child at risk of developing a severe, life-threatening congenital birth defect. In July 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a stern warning to the public regarding the potential risks associated with taking antidepressants during pregnancy. They announced that the side effects of Symbyax in pregnant mothers may increase the risk of their child developing potentially fatal birth defects.
