<b>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.

Pharmacology
triclocarban works by disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria and fungi, leading to their death.
It interferes with the microbial fatty acid synthesis pathway, which is essential for the formation and maintenance of cell membranes in these microorganisms.
Pharmacodynamics
triclocarban has antimicrobial effects that are active while it is in contact with the skin and the target microorganisms.
This disruption of cell membranes leads to cell death in bacteria and fungi and makes triclocarban effective at reducing the growth and presence of these microorganisms on the skin.
Pharmacokinetics
Limited information available on ADME.
Administration
triclocarban is available in form of soap for topical use.
