Safety has not been established during pregnancy

US FDA pregnancy category: Not assigned

Risk summary: There are no adequate data on use of this drug in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.

Animal studies in pregnant rats have not shown adverse effects on embryofetal development or adverse effects on pre or postnatal development. The relevance of these findings to humans may be limited because aggregated amyloid beta is not present in rats. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.

US FDA pregnancy category Not Assigned: The US FDA has amended the pregnancy labeling rule for prescription drug products to require labeling that includes a summary of risk, a discussion of the data supporting that summary, and relevant information to help health care providers make prescribing decisions and counsel women about the use of drugs during pregnancy. Pregnancy categories A, B, C, D, and X are being phased out.
