Lithium is a teratogen, which can cause birth defects in a small number of newborns. Case reports and several retrospective studies have demonstrated possible increases in the rate of a congenital heart defects including Ebstein's anomaly if taken during pregnancy. Teratogenicity is affected by trimester and dose of Lithium.
