Clinicians’ Perspective of The New Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Final Rule (PLLR): Results from an AAAAI/FDA Survey

ConclusionsThese survey results suggest that the PLLR format was not known by a majority of prescribers and that the pregnancy letter category format is continuing to be used despite significant flaws in the old system. However, the survey did not address why prescribers were continuing to rely on the pregnancy letter category system. Whether this is due to the PLLR format itself or the lack of quality data to inform the safe use of medications in pregnancy cannot be determined from these survey results. FDA will use these survey results to refine the communication of pregnancy safety information in labeling and will expand outreach efforts to educate healthcare providers in the new labeling system.
