Suvorexant use in females of childbearing potential

Use suvorexant with caution in females of childbearing potential who are not using effective contraception. There are no human data about safety in pregnancy. Large doses of suvorexant in animal studies have impaired fetal growth. Suvorexant and contraceptives can be used concurrently.

If a patient taking suvorexant wishes to plan a pregnancy, see Principles of psychotropic use in females of childbearing potential for advice on preconception planning and Suvorexant use during pregnancy.
