Corticosteroids are known to slightly increase the risk of cleft lip and cleft palate in pregnancy however unlike other corticosteroids zempred contains prednisolone is inactivated by the placental enzyme 11 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and does not effectively reach the fetus and thus not considered as a teratogen.
