These have been in use since 1979 and are defined as follows:

Category A: No risk in human studies (studies in pregnant women have not demonstrated a risk to the fetus during the first trimester).

Category C: Risk cannot be ruled out. There are no satisfactory studies in pregnant women, but animal studies demonstrated a risk to the fetus; potential benefits of the drug may outweigh the risks.
