Ep 118 \ Let's Talk About Cytotec or Misoprostol

Show Notes:

Cytotec is commonly used in maternity units across the country for cervical ripening and also for postpartum hemorrhage...but should it be?  Today we'll learn all about Cytotec (misoprostol) directly for the drug insert. You will learn about how it relates to things like uterine rupture and other catastrophic outcomes.  The hospital won't give you true informed consent - so now you can have the information you need to make an informed decision.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Information about Cytotec according to the drug insert available publicly on the FDA website
• Indications for the use of Cytotec
• The risks of using Cytotec
• How to decide if you should consent to Cytotec being used in your pregnancy
• Alternatives to Cytotec for cervical ripening
• So much more!
