We have started a project to construct a drug safety information community as a social system, allowing effective circulation of drug safety information among health care consumers, health care professionals, and drug discovery researchers through a shared foundation of knowledge on the internet. In this study, a questionnaire survey on “Drugs and Pregnancy” was undertaken for pharmacists, pharmacy students and researchers to investigate their perception.　The response rate was 108/211(51%). Of these respondents, 47.2% were students, 36.1% were pharmacists, and 8.3% were researchers. A number of respondents (95%) were interested in the web site with the information about drug safety during pregnancy. For registration of drugs used during pregnancy and pregnancy outcome, their cooperative trend was found. On the other hand, about 80% of the respondents worried about leakage of personal information. Eighty % of the students and researchers answered that they wanted to use the teratogenicity information for drug design. All researchers answered that it was really beneficial to share the information about reproductive and developmental toxicity, but it must be difficult for pharmaceutical companies. Social, academic and educational activities of information pharmacy, a center of our information community, will gain broad-based acceptance and support of many people.
