Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
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.
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.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.

Why do we use travoprost intraocular implant?
This drug, a synthetic prostaglandin F analogue, is prescribed to treat ocular hypertension or open angle glaucoma. By encouraging the eye’s natural fluids to flow out more readily, it reduces intraocular pressure.
