Animal studies have revealed evidence of fetal harm. After oral administration to pregnant rats during organogenesis, adverse embryofetal effects (including lower fetal weights, skeletal variations) were observed; these effects occurred at about 2 times the human exposure (at the recommended dose of 500 mg/day). This drug was maternally toxic at about 3.9 times the human exposure (at the recommended dose of 500 mg/day) in pregnant rabbits treated during organogenesis; spontaneous abortions, decreased fetal weights, skeletal variations, and visceral variations were observed. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.
