Each Risk Newsletter, meant for educational purposes only, summarizes the information available at the time of it's creation. While we make reasonable efforts to see that no inaccurate or misleading data is presented, information about birth defects and environmental exposures is rapdily changing. For this reason, pay close attention to the date of the documents you read on the internet. Patients should always consult their health care provider for updated information and clinical care. If you have further questions regarding the information presented on this website, please contact a health care provider in your area.

The ITIS RISK newsletter is published quarterly for health care professionals. Each issue covers one topic in-depth, reviewing the literature and clinical implications of a teratogen. If you would like a copy of one or more back issues, simply click on the linked title for each newsletter.
