Overview

The goal of Primary prevention is to prevent the occurrence of an illness or a disease before it occurs. Since CDH may be due to genetic abnormalities that develop due to defects early in gestation, they are difficult to detect and prevent until they have developed. In cases where risk factors lead to CDH, avoidance of causative drugs may prove helpful. For drugs that may lead to increased risk of CDH, it is important to provide alternative medications to affected individuals.

Primary Prevention

Causative Drugs to avoid in Gestation
Drug FDA Drug Category Underlying Disease Non-teratogenic alternative
Allopurinol[1][2] C Gout Colchicine[3]
Lithium D Bipolar Disease Lamotrigine, Oxcarbazepine[4]
Mycophenolate mofetil D[5] Prophylaxis of organ rejection Everolimus (few cases indicating this as of now)[6][7]
Phenmetrazine C Stimulant Should generally be avoided during pregnancy; no current drug alternative that is FDA approved[8]
Thalidomide X Hyperemesis Gravidarum Discontinued; H1-receptor antagonist, chlorpromazine, metoclopramide[9]
