Can you take Aducanumab-avwa Injection while pregnant?
Last updated September 7, 2026.
**Whether you should receive aducanumab-avwa injection during pregnancy requires a clinician's review because its pregnancy safety is unknown.** Aducanumab-avwa, also called Aduhelm, is an intravenous treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Available human data cannot establish its risks of birth defects, miscarriage, or other pregnancy complications. Your prescriber and prenatal clinician need to weigh your treatment needs against these unknown risks. If you become pregnant during treatment, call your prescriber and discuss the plan before your next infusion.
What to do
- **Tell your prescriber:** Report pregnancy or plans to become pregnant before receiving an infusion.
- **Call if pregnancy occurs:** Contact your treating clinician promptly if you become pregnant during treatment.
- **Review your next dose:** Ask your prescriber whether to proceed with your next scheduled infusion.
- **Share your medication list:** Give your prescriber and prenatal clinician a list of your medicines, vitamins, and supplements.
