Question
Answer
Teratogen   Any environmental agent sucha s a drug, chemical infection or pollutant which potentially harms the developing fetus  
🗑
FDA Guidelines only apply to...   pregnant women  
🗑
FDA Guidelines A   Adequate studies in pregnant women have not demonstrated risk  
🗑
FDA Guidelines B   Animal studies have not demonstrated risk but no studies in pregnant women OR animal studies suggest risk but human studies have not shown risk  
🗑
FDA Guidelines C   Animal studies show risk but there are no human studies OR there are no studies in humans or laboratory animals  
🗑
FDA Guidelines D   Evidence of human risk but benefits may make use acceptable  
🗑
FDA Guidelines X   Studies show risk; risk of use clearly outweighs any possible benefit  
🗑
Dangers of relying on FDA Pregnancy Categories   1. Prevent quality clinical assessment of original studies 2. Only useful for prescribing, not retrospective risk assessment  
🗑
What do you need to utilize other resources?   1. Known teratogenic exposure 2. Complicated inquiry 3. Patient anxiety 4. Conflicting opinions  
🗑
Strategies to Reduce Risk for previous ONTD   mg of folic acid prior to and during pregnancy  
🗑
What plays into the effects of a teratogenic exposure?   1. Route 2. Timing (critical period) 3. Dosage 4. Duration 5. genotype of fetus  
🗑
Background risk for a baby to have a congenital anomaly is   3%  
🗑
Lithium   1. Ebsteins anomaly, recommended fetal echocardiogram at 20 weeks, 3rd trimester use associated with neonatal cyanosis, hypotonia, disturbances of cardiac rhythm, diabetes insispidus and hypothyroidism.  
🗑
Anticonvulsants: Worst one...   Depakote, Dilatin, Phenobarbatal  
🗑
Chemotherapeutic agents   1. Malformations 2. IUGR 3. Pancytopenia 4. CNS damage 5. Pregnancy loss 6. Cardiomyopathy 7. Prematurity 8 MR 9 Limb anomalies  
🗑
ACE Inhibitors   Critical period of exposure: Second and third trimester IUGR, Hypocalcaria manifested by very large anterior fontanel, persistent PDA, renal tubular dysplasia leading to oligohydramnios and Potter's sequence  
🗑
ACE inhibitors mechanism of action   reduce uterine blood flow, leading to decreased placental perfusion and severe fetal hypotension. Block fetal ACE activity, thereby affecting systemic and renal hemodynamics in the fetus  
🗑
Anticonvulsants... potential risks   1. Malformations 2. OB complications 3. hemorrhage and other problems in the newborn, 4 developmental delays 5. behaviorial problems

🗑
Retinoids   Isotretinoin, etretinate, tretinoin, dietary vitamin A, Patterns of malformations: CNS anomalies, ear anomalies, cardiovascular defects, thymus anomalies, intellectual deficiency
