OBJECTIVE To evaluate the teratogenic or fetal risk of a long-acting GnRH agonist (GnRH-a) triptoreline acetate (Decapeptyl; Ipsen-Biotech, Inc., Paris, France), inadvertently administrated in the first weeks of pregnancy. METHODS Prospective follow-up of exposed pregnancies and case reports. METHODS Teratology information service of a public hospital and pharmacovigilance department of the firm. METHODS Inadvertent pregnant women receiving a treatment, mainly for endometriosis or IVF. METHODS Case by case, individual estimations of the risks have been provided. METHODS Each pregnancy issue has been analyzed. RESULTS No teratogenic or fetal toxic effect has been noted. CONCLUSIONS No specific hazard has been observed among newborns after inadvertent exposures to a GnRH-a during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy.
