Abstract
The continuous elimination of pharmaceutical products to water sources has become a worldwide problem and has been getting considerable attention due to the effects that this compounds have induced in aquatic organisms, specifically non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), one of the most representative group of medications and the most consumed around the world, highlighting the teratogenic and embryotoxic effects induced by NSAIDs on early life stages of different organisms being this the most vulnerable stages in development; the main representants of NSAID group (diclofenac, ibuprofen, naproxen, ketoprofen, paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid) have induced adverse embryonic effects, which can be consider for the development of strategies for an appropriate disposal of pharmaceutical residues, as well as establish maximum permissible limits for its emission to the environment.
