Hi,

Both Prednisone and HCQS are grouped under pregnancy "D" category which means studies in pregnancy women have demonstrated a very low risk to the fetus. However, the benefits of therapy in a life threatening situation or a serious disease like lupus, may outweigh the potential risk. In view of the above, Prednisone (5 mg) and HCQS (200 mg) are generally considered to be safe throughout pregnancy so continue taking the treatment as prescribed by your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
