Outcomes of drug exposition during pregnancy: Analysis from a teratology information service

ConclusionPregnant women counselled by our TIS take a mean of two drugs, ranging from one to 17. Drugs are from FDA Pregnancy Category C and ATC N drugs in most cases, 42.9% and 36.4% respectively. The rate of malformation of our cohort was of 4.5%, close to the estimated spontaneous rate of malformation. This data gives a reassuring aspect of drug exposure in pregnancy but takes into account the outcome at birth only.
