What are teratogenic effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effects on fetus: Teratogenic effects are the combined consequences of consuming a harmful substance on a developing fetus. This effect may manifest itself as growth deficiency, malformation of body organs, arms or legs, mental retardation, or sometimes death to the fetus. Examples include alcohol, accutane, tobacco, chicken pox or measles during pregnancy.
