*'''Category B''': 
Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women


*'''Category C''': 
Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus; there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, and the benefits from the use of the drug in pregnant women may be acceptable despite its potential risks


*'''Category D''': 
Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated fetal risk, but the benefit of use may be acceptable despite its potential risks


*'''Category X''': 
Studies have demonstrated animal or human fetal abnormalities and the risk of the drug clearly outweighs the potential benefits
