Preventing exposure to teratogens during the embryonic period is essential for protecting fetal health. This can be achieved through several strategies:
Public Awareness: Educating the public about the risks of certain substances and encouraging behavioral changes, such as avoiding alcohol and tobacco during pregnancy. Regulation: Implementing policies to control the use of known teratogens and monitoring environmental pollutants. Healthcare Guidance: Providing guidance to healthcare providers to avoid prescribing potentially harmful drugs to pregnant individuals.
