-Animal data of oral administration at exposures up to 50 times the maximum recommended human dose given during organogenesis did not show fetal harm or malformations independent of maternal toxicity.

Animal studies of oral administration of doses up to 75 mg/kg/day were given during organogenesis; embryofetal toxicity (lower fetal body weight, delayed ossification) was seen with maternotoxic doses. No treatment related malformations or effects on postnatal development were seen at 50 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD). There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. The background birth defect and miscarriage risk for the indicated population is not known. In the US general population, the estimated major birth defect risk is 2 to 4% and the miscarriage risk is 15 to 20%.

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.
