Fwd: Misoprostol dosing From: Akhan Suleyman (akhan93@hotmail.com) Wed Mar 7 11:05:02 2001 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Braun, R. Daniel: "Re: SAB and quant" Previous message: Deborah J. Wage: "Re: SAB and quant" Dear Cheri There is five years that we use misosprostol for induction labor and cervical ripening in our clinic. We prefere to use 25 microgram misoprostol every four hours until the bishop score will be five or more. We don't put the miso after six dose. If the score is four or less we suggest to rest the patient for 24 hour. After that we try again (If there is no some urgent position). We use the miso for all of the patients(Postterm patient, preeclamptic patient and even HELLP syndrome). There are so many ratio for the tachysystole and hyperstimulation. We found the tachysystole is more common in preeclamptic patient. They are so many study about the dose of miso. But the Wing's studys are very important. In 1997 a meta analysis published by Sanchez-Ramos.

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.
