KROK 1 2014 – Question 113 · KROK (Medicine) · Pharmacology
An 8-week-pregnant woman with acute respiratory disease and temperature rise up to 39.0 °C has called in a doctor. The doctor insisted on her avoiding taking paracetamol, because in this period of pregnancy there is a risk of its:
- A. Fetotoxicity
- B. Allergenicity
- C. Teratogenicity
- D. Hepatotoxicity
- E. Embryotoxicity
Hint
Consider what developmental process is under way at 8 weeks of pregnancy and which kind of drug-induced harm is specific to that window rather than to the whole pregnancy.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
