 Pregnancy category - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pregnancy category of a pharmaceutical agent is an assessment of the risk of fetal injury due to the pharmaceutical, if it is used as directed by the mother.
Furthermore, allocation of a drug in Category B does not necessarily imply greater safety than Category C. Drugs in Category D are not absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy, unlike Category X. In some cases Category D was assigned to a drug on the basis of suspicion.

 Research Activities, September 2004: Pharmaceutical Research: Study finds that some pregnant women are prescribed drugs that may be considered unsafe during pregnancy
The other approximately 50 percent of prescriptions were classified as Category A (risk to the fetus is remote) and Category B (animal studies do not show fetal risk and there are no controlled studies in women; or animal studies show risk, but controlled studies in women fail to show risk).
An additional 5 percent of women were dispensed a drug from Category X, for which the evidence indicates definite fetal risks based on human or animal studies or based on human experience, and the risk of using the drugs clearly outweighs any possible benefit.
Nearly 5 percent were dispensed drugs from Category D, which the FDA classifies as having positive evidence of fetal risk, but the benefits of use may be acceptable despite the risk.
