Rick, Have been using in orally for about 4 years. Early in my experience with it, I used it on a rather obese patient (350+) and she just sat there and smiled all day long-nothing happened. Because I could not really be sure about the pharmacokenetics (where the cytotec was hiding), I switched to oral and have used it ever since. I only use it with inpatients. I use the same doses (25-50 mcg) and get what seems to be an excellent response and have never had tachysytole/hyperstim.

Anyone using oral Cytotec for induction of labor? In patient or office with monitoring? I read the article in the Green Journal in June by Debra Wing, comparing the efficacy of oral v. vaginal, and have just induced my second patient orally. Zero-to-Q-2 minute contractions in two hours, one a multip and the other primip. Both delivered within 14 hours by SVD.

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.
