The FDA categorizes medications based on safety for use during pregnancy. Five categories - A, B, C, D, and X, are used to classify the possible risks to an unborn baby when a medication is taken during pregnancy.

Chlorhexidine rinse falls into category B.  There are no well-done studies that have been done in humans with Chlorhexidine. In animal studies, pregnant animals were given this medication, and the babies did not show any medical issues related to this medication.

Chlorhexidine chip falls into category C. There are no well-controlled studies that have been done in pregnant women. Chlorhexidine chip should be used during pregnancy only if the possible benefit outweighs the possible risk to the unborn baby.

Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.

It is not known if chlorhexidine crosses into human milk. Because many medications can cross into human milk and because of the possibility for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants with use of this medication, a choice should be made whether to stop nursing or stop the use of this medication. Your doctor and you will decide if the benefits outweigh the risk of using chlorhexidine.
