Actions and spectrum:Â Â
The toxic effects of allyl alcohol are due to its metabolic product called acrolein.Â
It is metabolized through two oxidative pathways which lead to the formation of acrolein and epoxide glycidol.Â

Category B: No evidence of risk to fetus found in animal reproduction studies and there are not enough studies on pregnant women.Â
Category C: Adverse effects on the fetus found with evidence in animal reproduction studies and no adequate evidence for an effect in humans, care must be taken for potential risks in pregnant women.Â
Category D: There is adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite potential risks may be used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category clearly outweigh risks over benefits. These category drugs should be prohibited for pregnant women.Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.Â
