In animals, embryofetal toxicities, including heart malformations (dilated aorta cardiomegaly), pulmonary malformations, postimplantation loss, wavy ribs, delayed ossification, and decreased number of ossified sternebrae, metacarpi or metatarsi, have been reported at doses associated with maternal toxicity and significantly higher than would be expected in humans. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy.

Studies in animals have shown evidence of an increased occurrence of fetal damage, the significance of which is considered uncertain in humans.

US FDA pregnancy 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.
