Category B: No evidence shown of risk to the 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 a result in humans must take care of potential risks in pregnant women     Â
