Class B drugs?

JenandDavid2009

My dermatologist just prescribed a topical cream to me. I told her I was pregnant, but looking at the info for the medicine, it's considered a class B drug for pregnancy. From what I've read online, that seems safe. However, pregnancy has made me crazy! Can someone talk me off the ledge and calm my nerves? TIA!

Class B is fine to take during pregnancy.

According to the FDA, a drug is considered class B if animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women OR animal studies have shown an adverse effect, but adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus in any trimester.

Just keep in mind that almost nothing is class A.  Class B is about as good as it gets!
