Des

Des may cause excessive drowsiness with alcohol.

Des may be unsafe to use during pregnancy. Although there are limited studies in humans, animal studies have shown harmful effects on the developing baby. Your doctor will weigh the benefits and any potential risks before prescribing it to you. Please consult your doctor.

Des is safe to use during breastfeeding. Human studies suggest that the drug does not pass into the breastmilk in a significant amount and is not harmful to the baby. Because of its low milk levels and lack of sleepiness, use of Des would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed babies.

Des does not usually affect your ability to drive.

Des should be used with caution in patients with kidney disease. Dose adjustment of Des may be needed. Please consult your doctor.
