Venlor XR Capsules (Generic Venlafaxine Hydrochloride XR Capsules) Venlor XR Capsules During Pregnancy Venlafaxine Hydrochloride (Venlor XR capsules) is classified by the US FDA as Pregnancy Category C. Venlafaxine did not cause malformations in offspring of rats or rabbits given doses up to 2.5 times (rat) or 4 times (rabbit) the maximum recommended human daily dose on a mg/m2 basis. However, in rats, there was a decrease in pup weight, an increase in stillborn pups, and an increase in pup deaths during the first 5 days of lactation, when dosing began during pregnancy and continued until weaning. The cause of these deaths is not known. These effects occurred at 2.5 times (mg/m2) the maximum human daily dose. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this medicine should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. © The Swiss Pharmacy
