Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women. Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.Â

Pharmacology Â
parathyroid hormone (PTH) has an impact on renal function, particularly in terms of calcium reabsorption in the kidneys. Â
It influences these processes to maintain appropriate calcium levels.Â
PharmacodynamicsÂ
parathyroid hormone stimulates the release of calcium from bones into the bloodstream.Â
parathyroid hormone also enhances the reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys, reducing calcium excretion in the urine.Â
