The Anatomical Record, 1998
Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine preparations are used commonly for the treatment and or prevention of malaria in the endemic regions of Sub-Sahara Africa. Pyrimethamine alone has been shown to be teratogenic in rats, mice and hamsters, and others animals.Pregnant Wistar rats were divided into three groups.
