Labetalol is of pregnancy category C.
Category C Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.
Please discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.
