What will be an ideal response?
Teratogens are environmental agents that cause damage during the prenatal period. Currently, the most widely used potent teratogen is a vitamin A derivative called Accutane (known by the generic name isotretinoin), prescribed to treat severe acne and taken by hundreds of thousands of women of childbearing age in industrialized nations. Exposure during the first trimester results in eye, ear, skull, brain, heart, and immune system abnormalities. Accutane's packaging warns users to avoid pregnancy by using two methods of birth control, but many women do not heed this advice.
