Re: Oral CytotecFrom: Dr. Lynn Montgomery (lmontgomery@communitymed.org)Thu Nov 2 12:36:47 2000
I induce approximately 2 patients per month, sometimes more. Have been using cytotec orally for over four years and was doing more inductions in the earlier part of the 4 years. Use 25-50 mcg orally every four hours, with occasionally going to 100 mcg depending on the response. Patients routinely rest without much uterine activity following the first two doses, then begin to labor following the third dose and progress nicely, seldom requiring supplemental pitocin. I have influenced three labor decks toward this usage, just by my use (no active campaign). All have adopted this regimen and all with excellent success. As to statements regarding numbers, I have been in the academic setting and the private sector and found there is by far more smoke blown up back sides in the academic setting. Out here in the trenches, we just do what works. Ya, maybe alot of the things I do should be published, but I have chosen to practice rather than publish, primarily because I have experienced the politics of publishing and have a realistic understanding of the smoozing and kissing up required to be successful. Out here, I kiss nobody's bottom... Sorry for the sarcasm, but I am offended by the suggestion from one in academics that one of us simple folks in private practice would sink to exaggeration to make a point.

If 25 mcg of orally administered misoprostol leads to a vaginal delivery within 24 hours in the majority of patients then that should have been published. One hundred micrograms orally barely works as well as 25 mcg vaginally which works less well than 50 mcg vaginally. In the past I have heard statements such as ..for me it works all the time (2 cases)! LSR

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.
