All drug labeling has been updated to be more useful for pregnant women, according to CDER acting director **Jacqueline Corrigan-Curay**. The changes had been sought by Sens. **Maggie Hassan** (D-NH) and **Ted Budd** (R-NC).

A [statement](https://www.hassan.senate.gov/news/press-releases/following-senator-hassans-push-prescription-drug-makers-improve-medication-labeling-for-pregnant-woman?ref=fdaweb.com) issued by Hassan says that although the labeling system was replaced by FDA in 2015, as of earlier this year there were still some drugs using the old system, including common drugs such as antibiotics.

Asked about the situation by Hassan at a Senate hearing, Corrigan-Curay said, “We have submissions from all of the drugs that were outstanding.”

FDA says that due to the push from Hassan and Budd, the agency worked with companies to replace the outdated medication labels on 17 drugs with new labels that will provide clear information to pregnant women about health risks.
