A statement made by the Center for Disease Control (CDC)
“We know little about the effects of taking most medications during pregnancy. This is because pregnant women are often not included in studies to determine
safety of new medications before they come on the market. Less than 10% of medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1980 have enough
information to determine their risk for birth defects.”
