Thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic.com, providing better healthcare for you. I have gone through your case and I can understand your concern. Aerocort Rotacaps belongs to category C for use in pregnancy, because animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans. However potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in your case despite potential risks. So, it is advisable to take Aerocort Rotacaps during pregnancy. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
