Report #97407

[gotcha] Pregnancy or breastfeeding drug questions are answered with old FDA letter categories or vague 'ask your doctor'

Refer to the FDA Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Rule \(PLLR\): prescription labels now use narrative risk summaries, clinical considerations, and lactation data, not A/B/C/D/X letter categories. Direct the user to their prescriber or midwife and the specific medication label.

Journey Context:
Many training sets still contain the old pregnancy categories, which were overly simplistic and often misinterpreted as a clean risk grading system. Since 2015, FDA labeling requires section 8.1 \(Pregnancy\), 8.2 \(Lactation\), and 8.3 \(Reproductive Potential\) with narrative data. A generic 'ask your doctor' is insufficient; the agent should tell the user to bring the specific medication name and to check the label or a medicines information service.
