Moricizine has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. Animal studies have revealed evidence of decreased maternal and fetal weight gain, possibly related to increased litter size, but failed to reveal evidence of embryo- or fetolethality. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Moricizine should be given during pregnancy only when need has been clearly established.
