The Teratogen Information System "TERIS" is a unique and authoritative clinical teratology resource designed to assist physicians and other health care professionals in assessing the risks of medication and other exposures during pregnancy.

2023年7月28日 · Teratogens are drugs, chemicals, or even infections that can cause abnormal fetal development. There are billions of potential teratogens, but only a few agents are proven to have teratogenic...

Teratogenic drugs: A teratogen is an agent that can disturb the development of the embryo or fetus. Teratogens halt the pregnancy or produce a congenital malformation (a birth defect). Classes of teratogens include radiation, maternal infections, chemicals, and drugs. Drugs that are capable of acting as teratogens include:

oral medications such as isotretinoin, used in the treatment of acne, are potent teratogens. The critical period of exposure appears to be from the second to the fifth week of gestation.

A drug is a teratogen if its administration to the pregnant mother, directly or indirectly, causes a structural or functional change in the fetus or child. Organ formation within the fetus occurs in the first 3 months of pregnancy, teratogenic drugs taken in this period therefore tend to cause structural defects.
