Cymbalta and PregnancyThere are some situations where it may not be safe to take Cymbalta, and pregnancy is one of them. The FDA has classified Cymbalta as a pregnancy Category C medication, meaning that it does appear to cause side effects to the fetus in animal studies. When Cymbalta was given to pregnant rats, the baby rats weighed less and were less likely to survive. However, your healthcare provider may still prescribe Cymbalta if the benefits outweigh the risks.
