OACS Charity

We are here to support all families touched by Fetal Anti-Convulsant Syndromes. OACS is here to ensure that people living with FACS and their families will experience better recognition, improved public health services, and support. Fetal Anti-Convulsant Syndrome is caused when the anti-convulsant medicine a woman takes during pregnancy affects the foetus. It is not yet understood why this affects some children and not others, but it is believed may be due to a genetic disposition.
