Objective High‐dose methotrexate (MTX) exposure during pregnancy is associated with embryopathy. The teratogenic potential of MTX at dosages typically used in the treatment rheumatic diseases remains uncertain. aim this study was to evaluate risk spontaneous abortion, major birth defects, elective termination pregnancy, shortened gestational age delivery, and reduced weight women exposed MTX. Methods Pregnancy outcome taking (≤30 mg/week) either after conception or within 12 weeks before...

The Israeli Teratogen Information Service prospectively followed up 210 pregnancies with first trimester carbamazepine exposure. Pregnancy outcome was compared that of two overlapping controls, matched and general (<i>n</i> = 629), exposed to nonteratogenic agents. Our study suggests a twofold increase in the rate major congenital anomalies (12/160 [carbamazepine] versus 18/560 [general control]; relative risk 2.24; 95% CI 1.1–4.56) birth weight reduction approximately 250 g after utero...
