imageAminoglycosides can cause foetal ear damage. Tetracyclines carry risk of pancreatitis, acute yellow atrophy of liver and kidney damage in mother and teeth and bone deformities in the offspring. Pencillins, many cephalosporins and erythromycin are safe.

The other three are accurate - plus add Quinolones.
