The Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS) Education Committee has developed factsheets on various exposures of concern.

The factsheets answer frequently asked questions about exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The factsheets are listed by category. The links take you directly to the factsheets in pdf format posted on the OTIS website.

All medications are listed by generic name.  The generic name can be found on your prescription or medication packaging listed as the Active Ingredient, or in parentheses after the medication’s brand name.
