A
teratogen is any substance, agent or process that affects typical fetal development, resulting in one or more congenital disorders in the fetus.
Despite this complexity, hyperglycemia has been determined to be the primary
teratogen in all forms of diabetes.
Valproate should not be used during pregnancy because it is a known
teratogen and can cause other fetal problems throughout gestation.
Methimazole is a known
teratogen associated with this condition hence should be avoided in pregnancy.
Hecht reminds us that spironolactone is a
teratogen and using effective contraception can help reduce the risk of exposing a pregnancy to the medication.

Teratogen is any substance that causes embryonic defects.
The toll-free hotline (1-866-626-6847) connects women and health care providers to
teratogen information specialists, while the website includes fact sheets on medications and other exposures.
also take issue with benzene exposure as a plausible explanation for our findings because they assert that benzene is not a proven
teratogen. Lack of direct evidence of causation between benzene and birth defects does not exclude the plausibility of benzene as a
teratogen.
KARACHI -- Congenital disabilities that affect a significant number of people are often caused due to
teratogen, medication high in toxic value and contaminated water that lead to growth of abnormal cell tissue in unborn during fetal growth, said researchers in a session organised by Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS).
A checklist was compiled to collect the following data: patient particulars, parental dates of birth, details of the pregnancy (including birth order,
teratogen exposure, mode of delivery and outcomes of the pregnancy) where available, a detailed pedigree analysis, history, type of lesion and associated malformations in the affected child, and the occurrence of other abnormalities and pregnancy outcomes in parents of a child with an NTD.
