What pregancy category has shown an adverse effect of animal reproduction but there are no adequate and well controlled studies in humans.

What category is there POSITIVE evidence of fetal risk based on adverse reaction date from investigational or marketing experience or studies in humans. Potential benefits may warrant use of drugs in women tho. Derp
