Brief Answer:
It is assumed to be safe.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
There are no drug studies on Viberzi, nor is a FDA pregnancy category yet assigned, as it is a relatively newer drug.
However, it is assumed that benefits outweight the risks.
There is no need to be concerned about potential damage to the baby, however discuss with your doctor regarding stopping / switching over to documented time tested safer drugs.
All the best.
Please feel free to discuss further.
