TABOADA LUGO, Noel; LARDOEYT FERRER, Roberto; QUINTERO ESCOBAR, Katia  e  TORRES SANCHEZ, Yuselis. Proposal of a prenatal genetic counselling methodology to prevent congenital defects induced by drugs. Rev Cubana Med Gen Integr [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.5-6. ISSN 0864-2125.

It is known that drugs are the most advanced medical technology in the present world. Many of them have been identified with teratogenic effects. The family physician or other medical personnel giving attention to pregnant women have to face two situations: that of pregnant women with chronic diseases who should be prescribed a drug with teratogenic potentialities known or not, and that of other pregnant women that received or require them to alleviate symptoms or acute disorders associated with or caused by pregnancy. Due to the relative frequency with which these situations may occur, the categories of teratogenic risk of some drugs were related and a strategy of prenatal genetic counselling was proposed to attend gravid women who require or have taken drugs with certain teratogenic risk or not, which is a useful tool in the hands of family physicians to prevent congenital defects induced by drugs.

Palavras-chave : Pregnancy; complications; drugs; anomalies induced by drugs; prevention; control; family physicians.
