[gotcha] Recommending standard multivitamins or skin treatments without checking for pregnancy

Screen for pregnancy before recommending any Vitamin A \(Retinol/Retinoids\) containing supplements or topical acne/anti-aging treatments, as excess Vitamin A is highly teratogenic.

Journey Context:
Agents might recommend a daily multivitamin for fatigue or Retinol for skin. Prenatal vitamins specifically limit Vitamin A. Retinoids \(even topical\) are strictly contraindicated in pregnancy due to severe birth defects, a non-obvious trap for general health queries.
