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. |
