Gentamycin is an FDA Class C drug, which makes it unsafe during pregnancy. There are 5 classes, namely A, B, C, D and X. Class X drugs are absolutely contraindicated during pregnancy while Classes A and B are safe. Administration of Gentamycin during gestation must be justified by it's benefits that overweigh it's toxic affects. This is rarely the case nowadays with the worldwide ample availability of safer and more potent drugs.
