Why ReproAnswer?
For most medications:
• the safety or risk profile is either unknown or very difficult to find
• it is difficult for healthcare providers and pregnant women to weigh the risks and benefits of treatment options

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
• Every infant has at least a 5% risk of being born with a serious congenital anomaly
• 9 of 10 women take at least one medication during pregnancy
• Medication use in pregnancy up more than 60% in last 30 years
• Women struggle with decisions regarding medication use in pregnancy
• Pregnant patients may discontinue or underuse needed medications due to fear
• Without treatment, the woman and/or her baby could be harmed
