The "Telefono Rosso": a service for the prevention of birth defects and for the evaluation of teratogenic risk

The "Telefono Rosso" ("Red telephone") is a specialized service for preconceptional counselling and teratogenic risk evaluation.

In addition to serving the community to prevent birth defects and to prevent some induced abortions, the "Telefono Rosso" represents a unique opportunity to add to the current body of knowledge by documenting the outcomes of pregnancies exposed to a variety of agents. In this respect the "Telefono Rosso" may be considered an additional source of post-marketing surveillance.
