trimester - with no evidence of risk in the later trimesters.
B: Animals studies indicate no adverse effect to the fetus, but there are no adequate,
clinical studies in pregnant women.
C: Animal studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus, but there are no adequate,
clinical studies in humans. Despite potential risks, the drug may be useful in pregnant
women.

pregnant women may be acceptable, despite potential risks.

indicate evidence of fetal risk. Warning: the risks involved clearly outweigh any
potential benefit from using the drug in pregnant women, regardless of trimester.

risks or benefits).
