Storage Information
Most solid oral drugs have a longer shelf life when stored at room temperature (68-77°F / 20-25°C) and shielded from UV radiation in airtight containers. The FDA's Shelf-Life Extension Program showed that many solid form medications stayed potent beyond their expiration date.

Appendix A: Pregnancy, Lactation, and Reproductive Potential Labeling
Purpose of This Appendix
This appendix summarizes how pregnancy, breastfeeding, and reproductive potential information should be interpreted in medication education materials. This appendix is based on the FDA Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule (PLLR) framework for prescription drug labeling.
The FDA no longer uses the pregnancy letter categories A, B, C, D, and X in current prescription drug labeling. These categories were removed because they were considered confusing and overly simplistic and did not adequately communicate medication risk during pregnancy, lactation, or reproductive decision-making.
Current FDA labeling uses narrative risk information to help healthcare providers assess benefit and risk and counsel pregnant patients, breastfeeding patients, and patients of reproductive potential.
8.1 Pregnancy
Under current FDA labeling, the Pregnancy subsection may include the following elements when applicable:
Pregnancy Exposure RegistryIf a pregnancy exposure registry exists for a medication, labeling may include information about the registry and how pregnant patients may enroll or obtain additional information.
Risk SummaryThe pregnancy risk summary provides a concise summary of what is known about medication use during pregnancy. It may include available human data, animal data, and pharmacologic information when relevant. The risk summary may address whether available data identify a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes.
Clinical ConsiderationsThis section may include clinically relevant information such as:
- Disease-associated maternal and/or embryo/fetal risk
- Dose adjustments during pregnancy and postpartum period
- Maternal adverse reactions
- Fetal/neonatal adverse reactions
- Labor or delivery considerations when applicable
DataThis section may summarize the human and/or animal data supporting the risk summary.
8.2 Lactation
Under current FDA labeling, the Lactation subsection may include the following elements when applicable:
Risk SummaryThe lactation risk summary may describe:
- Whether the medication is present in human milk
- Whether the medication affects the breastfed child
- Whether the medication affects milk production
- Relevant human or animal lactation data, if available
When human lactation data are available, FDA labeling gives priority to human data over animal data. If breastfeeding is contraindicated, that information should be stated first in the risk summary.
Clinical ConsiderationsThis section may include recommendations for minimizing exposure, monitoring the breastfed child, or managing potential adverse reactions when applicable.
DataThis section may summarize available human or animal lactation data, including measured drug levels in milk or infant exposure estimates when available.
8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential
Under current FDA labeling, this subsection may include information about:
- Pregnancy testing
- Contraception
- Infertility
This section is included when a medication may affect pregnancy status, fertility, embryo-fetal development, or reproductive decision-making.
Legacy Pregnancy Letter Categories
(Historical reference only — no longer current FDA standard)
CategoryDefinitionAAdequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in the first trimester, and there is no evidence of risk in later trimesters.BAnimal reproduction studies failed to demonstrate fetal risk, but there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Or: Animal studies showed an adverse effect, but adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women failed to demonstrate fetal risk.CAnimal reproduction studies showed an adverse effect on the fetus, and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans. Or: No animal reproduction studies and no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans are available. Potential benefits may warrant use in pregnant women despite potential risks.DThere is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans. Potential benefits may warrant use in pregnant women despite potential risks.XStudies in animals or humans demonstrated fetal abnormalities. Or: There is positive evidence of human fetal risk based on adverse reaction data from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans. The risks involved in use during pregnancy clearly outweigh potential benefits.
Standard Pregnancy Language for Medication Sheets
When current labeling provides a clear pregnancy risk statement:Pregnancy: Current labeling states [insert label-based risk summary]. Consult with a medical provider before use during pregnancy.
When human pregnancy data are limited:Pregnancy: Available human data are limited and are not sufficient to establish a drug-associated risk. Use during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk. Consult with a medical provider.
When medication should be avoided at a specific pregnancy stage:Pregnancy: Avoid use during [insert trimester/week range] unless specifically advised by a medical provider due to [insert label-supported risk]. Consult with a medical provider.
When medication is contraindicated in pregnancy:Pregnancy: Use is contraindicated during pregnancy. Do not use if pregnant or planning to become pregnant unless labeling or a medical provider specifically indicates otherwise.
Standard Breastfeeding Language for Medication Sheets
When medication presence in human milk is unknown:Breastfeeding: It is not known whether this medication is present in human milk, whether it affects the breastfed infant, or whether it affects milk production. Consult with a medical provider before use while breastfeeding.
When medication is present in human milk:Breastfeeding: This medication is present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for treatment and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child. Consult with a medical provider.
When medication is expected to produce low infant exposure:Breastfeeding: Available data suggest infant exposure through breastmilk is expected to be low. Consult with a medical provider before use while breastfeeding, especially when nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
When breastfeeding is not recommended:Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with this medication and for [insert duration, if specified in labeling] after the last dose. Consult with a medical provider for individualized guidance.
When breastfeeding is contraindicated:Breastfeeding: Use is contraindicated during breastfeeding. Do not breastfeed during treatment unless current prescribing information or a medical provider specifically indicates otherwise.
This appendix is for medication education and labeling consistency only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnose any condition, recommend treatment, or replace the full prescribing information, product label, FDA-approved labeling, or guidance from a licensed medical provider. Current prescribing information should be reviewed because pregnancy, lactation, and reproductive-risk information may change as new data become available.
