Presenting the basic principles of developmental toxicity, the second edition of this volume catalogues available, up-to-date information on drugs and chemicals with respect to their teratogenicity in humans and laboratory animals. It describes the teratogenic findings of almost 500 new entries and is organized by therapeutic or environmental c1assification for ease of reference. Listing agents throughout according to generic names, the second edition contains; a useful historical analysis of teratogens, over 3,300 drug and chemical entries, up-to-the-minute data on all compounds tested in both tabular form and in the text, an expanded and extensive bibliography with over 7500 references and additional summary tables. By providing the largest teratology database currently available, the second edition remains the most comprehensive resource for teratologists, toxicologists, pediatricians, obstetricians, gynecologists, occupational physicians, environmentalists, pharmacologists, pharmacists, and research managers and directors.
