Acetaminophen is a widely used analegesis and antipyretic which is
considered safe at therapeutic levels . This medicine is also a kind of
influensive substiution via the gut, it is metabolized in liver and converted
to consistant and potential toxic metabolits . Acetaminophen and it’s
metabolits undifficulty passes from decidua and achieves emberyo and
is the cause of malformations in emberyo.
In this investigation we basically found that the consumption of
therapeutic does of acetaminophen ( 48.5 mg/kg ) in mice , during
sensitive organogenesis days ( 7,8,9 and 9,10,11 pregnancy ) caused
abnormalities that the most important of them included :decrease of
weight of emberyo’s body in comparison with control group(P<0.05).
Another abnormalities observed in this study : decrease of CR ,
exencephally , absorption of embryo and skeletal system defect. In
resumption of research, we also treared the double of the therapeutic
dose (97 mg/kg) in sensitive organogenesis period to pregnant mouse
via the animal feeding , it caused increasing of the abnormalities . As it
shows that there is significant decrease in weight and CR in comparison
with control group.
