As a state-funded program, the Pregnancy Exposure
Information Service provides up-to-date information on all
types of exposures during pregnancy or breastfeeding for
Connecticut residents or women who have Connecticut
physicians.
This service is a member of the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS).
We are a resource for pregnant women and their partners,
those planning a pregnancy, or health care providers who
wish information regarding medications, radiation,
infectious diseases, substance abuse, and
occupational and environmental exposures.
Free telephone counseling is offered to the majority of
persons calling the Pregnancy Exposure Information Service.
In some cases, personal counseling is recommended based on
the complexity of an exposure and the predicted risks. There
is no fee for this service.
Patient-readable fact sheets regarding various exposures
in pregnancy are available upon request or
on-line at
OTIS.
