Abstract
We present a summary of the activity of the two Teratology Information Services: SITTE (for health professionals) and SITE (for the general population) during year 2011. The total number of calls received in both services was 5,340 (829 from SITTE and 4,511 from SITE). We also analyzed calls asking for maternal diseases because some of them, like diabetes and hypertension, can be of risk for the correct prenatal development, either by themselves or by the treatment. Like all these previous years, drugs have been the main issue of concern in consulting (68.67% SITTE; 40.84% SITE), particulary about psychoanaleptics (12.71% SITTE; 12.55% SITE) and psycholeptics (12.37% SITTE; 12.90% SITE). Sometimes this concern is the reason for many chronic treatments to be withdrawn when knowing about the pregnancy, without taking into account the risk this may bring to the mother´s illness.
