Factors affecting the teratogenic effect of the drug
A. Fetal factors :
I. Developmental stage :
1.Predifferentiation stage (<31 days of gestation): Death or no
effect.
2.Differentiation stage (31-71 days of gestation): Malformation
3.Post differentiation stage (after 71 days of gestation):
Functional defects, Growth retardation
II. Genetic susceptibility :
1. Species differences: Thalidomide is teratogenic in human & not
in animals.
2. Individual differences: difference in maternal or fetal
metabolism of the drug
B. Drug factors:
I. The route, dose & duration of administration
II. Access to fetoplacental unit:
Lipid solubility
Molecular weight: > 1000 dalton not cross the placenta
Protein binding
Thickness of the placental membrane
Appearance of teratogenic effect:
Immediate:
•Death & abortion
At birth:
•Malformation
•Functional defects (Streptomycin: nephrotoxic &
ototoxic)
Delayed:
•Carcinogenesis: DES
•Mutagenesis:

FDA classification for drugs used in pregnancy
1.Category A:
•Controlled studies in humans demonstrated no fetal risk.
2. Category B:
•Animal studies indicate no fetal risk & no controlled
studies in humans.
3.Category C:
• Animal studies indicate fetal risk & no human studies.
These drugs are administered only when their benefits
outweighs the potential fetal harm.
4.Category D:
•There is evidence of fetal risk in humans but the
benefits may outweigh the risk.
These drugs are given only in serious disease because no
alternative.
5. Category X:
There is clear human risk that outweigh the benefits.
These drugs are contraindicated.
Impact of the problem
2%: Category A drugs

ClassificationCategory
Studies in animals have not shown evidence of
an increased occurrence of fetal damage.
Category

Studies in animals are inadequate or may be
lacking.
Category

Studies in animals have shown evidence of an
increased occurrence of fetal damage

Recommendations
Before pregnancy:
Be Familiar with teratogenic drugs
Avoid pregnancy if teratogenic drug should be given
In 1st trimester:
Avoid drugs
Exception folic acid & vit C
If absolutely indicated for short time & minimal effective dose
2nd & 3rd trimester:
Beneficial & safe drugs
if indicated for short time & minimal effective dose
Last week:
Avoid drugs that may affect neonates
If needed stop 7-10 days before labor
