Default Classes of Drugs

Hello all...

I just found this classification of drugs on the website
http://www.allergyclinic.co.nz/guides/28.html

This is the easiest guide, I have ever read.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To help guide therapy the FDA has developed a classification for the
safety of drugs during pregnancy as follows:

Class A: Drugs that have undergone controlled studies in pregnant
patients and have been found to be safe.

Class B: These drugs have not undergone rigorous testing in pregnant
patients, but adverse effects have not been detected in either animal
or human studies.

Class C: Adverse effects have been detected in animal studies, but not
yet in human studies.

Class D: These drugs have well demonstrated adverse effects on human
foetal health. These drugs should not be used in pregnant patients.

Class X: These drugs are contraindicated in pregnancy.
