I would be very hesitant to use 600ug for an IUFD. Unless you have been associated with a ruptured uterus from too much of an oxytocic and you like to revisit that occurrence in a new patient, use of the 200ug on a q12hr basis works well. If one wants to use another effective medication then Hemabate 0.25mg IM q2hrs will usually initiate delivery and complete it in the IUFD population. After the 3rd dose, the majority of patients will experience one or more GI side effects. Robert J.

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.
