Correct Answer: 2,5
Rationale: Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pregnancy Categories provide a framework for safe use of drugs in pregnant women. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pregnancy Category X has been associated with teratogenic effects. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pregnancy Categories are based on animal studies. Pregnancy Category C is not necessarily safe, it just means that animal studies have shown an adverse effect, but well-controlled studies in pregnant women have not been done. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pregnancy categories for individual drugs do change based on reported effects on fetuses.
