Nitrofurantoin, an antimicrobial medication, causes formation of abnormally small eyes in
the newborn. Sex hormone supplements, such as estrogens, may cause congenital defects
of female reproductive organs. Methotrexate can cause congenital abnormalities (central
nervous system and limbs malformations) and fetal death. Valproic acid is high teratogenic
and cause neural tube defects, atrial septal defect, cleft palate, hypospadias, polydactyly,
and craniosynostosis.
