[Prescription of rimonabant in the early stage of pregnancy?].
Rimonabant should not be prescribed in pregnancy because no sufficient data on the teratogenic/ embryotoxic risk are available. A preventive termination of pregnancy is not indicated. Women in childbearing age should take only low-risk drugs. Otherwise dedicated information, in doubt pregnancy test, and strict contraception is required.
