Because it may negatively impact fetal development, pregnant pharmacy staff should avoid handling which of the following medications without proper protection?

Furosemide, a diuretic commonly used to treat conditions like edema and hypertension, does not carry the same teratogenic risks as finasteride. While caution is always advised during pregnancy, furosemide is not specifically singled out for its harmful effects on fetal development.

Fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed for depression and other mental health conditions, is not typically associated with teratogenic effects that would necessitate special precautions for pregnant pharmacy staff members. While SSRIs have considerations in pregnancy, fluoxetine is not a specific concern in this context.

Famotidine, a medication used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid, does not pose the same risks to fetal development as finasteride. Pregnant pharmacy staff members can handle crushed or broken tablets of famotidine without the same concerns of teratogenic effects associated with finasteride.
