    Study Notes

    FDA Pregnancy Drug Categories

    • Drug classifications include categories A, B, C, D, and X, indicating levels of risk to the fetus during pregnancy.

    Category A

    • Drugs such as thyroid supplements (levothyroxine), folic acid, and potassium chloride have shown no risk to the fetus in any trimester.

    Category B

    • Examples include acetaminophen, penicillins, and erythromycin. Animal studies have not revealed fetal risks, and controlled studies in pregnant women have not shown risks.

    Category C

    • Drugs like epinephrine, aspirin, and prednisone may have adverse effects on fetuses in animal studies, but no human studies confirming risks exist. The potential benefits may justify use.

    Category D

    • Drugs such as Warfarin and tetracycline provide positive evidence of human fetal risk and thus require careful consideration before use.

    Category X

    • Drugs including triazolam and isotretinoin demonstrate known fetal abnormalities or present a confirmed risk to human fetuses.

    Category C Drugs in Dental Care

    • Mepivacaine, Bupivacaine, Epinephrine, along with NSAIDs and opioids are classified as Category C in dental settings during pregnancy.

    Category B Drugs in Dental Care

    • In dental care, Category B drugs include Lidocaine, NSAIDs, acetaminophen, along with antibiotics like penicillin and erythromycin.

    Category D Drugs in Dental Care

    • Drugs such as aspirin, tetracycline, and benzodiazepines (including diazepam and lorazepam) fall under Category D in dental practices during pregnancy.

    Category X Drugs in Dental Care

    • Benzodiazepines like temazepam are categorized as Category X and are contraindicated in dental care for pregnant patients.

    Drugs Causing Cleft Lip

    • Medications such as diazepam, temazepam, and alprazolam have been associated with the development of cleft lip in the fetus.
