Which group of drugs is considered teratogenic?

  1. NSAIDs, amphetamines, statins

  2. Isotretinoin, quinolones, warfarin

  3. Vitamin C, calcium supplements, iron

  4. ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics

The correct answer is: Isotretinoin, quinolones, warfarin

Teratogenic drugs are those that can cause harm to a developing fetus during pregnancy. This is why options A, C, and D are incorrect. Neither NSAIDs, amphetamines, statins, nor ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, diuretics are considered teratogenic. While vitamin C, calcium supplements, and iron may be recommended during pregnancy, they are not classified as teratogenic drugs. Option B, however, includes isotretinoin, quinolones, and warfarin, which are known to cause birth defects and are considered teratogenic. Overall, it is important for pregnant women to avoid teratogenic drugs and consult with their healthcare provider about their medication use.
