That is really too bad. We've had it for quite some time in Canada (marketed as Diclectin), and it really does make a difference for lots of women. Motherisk did some research, I believe, on the rise in the numbers of women who had terminations for NVP after Diclectin/Bendectin was pulled from the market, and it was considerable.

Perhaps someone should feed the sharks some ipecac for an extended period of time and see how they like it ;^)

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
