FDA will finally overhaul the pregnancy rating system for meds

July 2008

FDA will finally overhaul the pregnancy rating system for meds.

They will do away with the current categories (A,B,C,D,X)...and provide more comprehensive safety info in the drug labeling instead.

The new pregnancy info will describe fetal risk in humans and animals...and compare the risk of the drug to not treating the disease.
