Actividad de los Servicios de Información sobre Teratógenos (SITTE y SITE) durante el año 2009. Análisis de la utilización del SITTE por los distintos especialistas médicos

Abstract

During 2009, SITTE (aimed at the health professionals) received 889 calls and SITE (intended for the general population) received 4,008. Inquires about medication are the most frequent reasons for consulting both these services. What stands out is the high number of inquiries for psychoanaleptic and psycholeptic drugs, which constitute 25% of all medication queries in SITTE and 22% in SITE. Here we present the yearly trends for the calls made by different medical specialists. Gynecologists are the specialists that have the most contact with SITTE, but calls from primary care physicians and psychiatrists are gradually increasing.
