About us

The UK Teratology Information Service (UKTIS) is commissioned by the Health Protection Agency.  We provide a national service on all aspects of the toxicity of drugs and chemicals in pregnancy.  Information is provided to health professionals via a telephone information service and written information available online.  Summary documents which provide advice regarding many medications and chemicals during pregnancy can be accessed via our website www.UKTIS.org.

Access to the full documents can be found by registering with TOXBASE, which is free of charge to NHS and NHS-affiliated departments, units and practices in the UK.
A key role of UKTIS is to collect pregnancy outcome data from women who have been exposed to drugs and chemicals in pregnancy.  This surveillance provides prospective data on the incidence of fetal complications.  Such information is fundamental to expanding the limited available data on which to base advice and contribute to the provision of an individual risk assessment for a pregnant woman exposed to drugs and chemicals, and preconception advice for men and women concerning drug and chemical exposures. These follow up data are included in UKTIS documents and are also published in peer reviewed journals.

Further information can be obtained from our website, www.UKTIS.org
