Valclovir Tablets During Pregnancy
Valacyclovir Hydrochloride (Valclovir tablets) has been classified by
the US FDA as Pregnancy Category B.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Valacyclovir
tablets or Acyclovir in pregnant women.
Animal reproduction studies performed at oral doses that provided up to
10 and 7 times the human plasma levels during the period of major
organogenesis in rats and rabbits, respectively, revealed no evidence of
teratogenicity.
Based on pregnancy registry data the overall rate of birth defects in
infants exposed to Acyclovir in- utero appears similar to the rate for
infants in the general population. Valclovir tablets must be used during
pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the
foetus.
