Can I Keep Using Latisse if I Get Pregnant?

Question

I´ve been using Latisse for three weeks now and I'm really happy with it. I'm planning to get pregnant next year, what I wanted to know is if I can use it when I get pregnant or if I should stop using it some months before. Is there any other lash enhancer that I can use during pregnancy? I hope you can answer my question, thanksssss

Latisse is a category C drug, meaning its benefits for use must outweigh the possible risks. I would not recommend using it while pregnant.

To be on the safe side, I would recommend you stop using Latisse while pregnant. There is no research indicating the impact of the product on pregnancy, so it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Daniel Shapiro, MD · Answer

Studies have not been done to show the safety of Latisse during pregnancy and as it is a cosmetic medication I would not recommend using it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Amy Kotecha, MD · Answer

Latisse is category C.  Thus I do not feel that the risks outweigh the benefits for pregnancy.  You can restart it once done breastfeeding.

Thank you for your question.

	It is not recommended that you use Latisse (or other similar products) while pregnant. No studies have been performed to prove or disprove the safety but it's better to be safe than sorry.

	Best wishes.
