Pregnancy and lactation drug labeling
From WikEM
(Redirected from Lactation Risk Categories)
Background
- The 2015 FDA Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule (PLLR) replaces the previously used pregnancy categories (A, B, C, D, X) and creates new labeling categories
- Drugs approved by the FDA after the PLLR final rule will no longer be assigned a pregnancy category letter
- New drug labeling categories:
- 8.1 - Pregnancy (including labor and delivery)
- 8.2 - Lactation (including nursing mothers)
- 8.3 - Females and Males of reproductive potential
- Labels will provide a narrative summary of risk and will summarize available human and animal risk data.
