I'm realhappy with the pg gel made in our basement. OTOH, I do believe I can discern those cases likely to require the expensive home-made gel vs those likely to get a quick hit from Cytotec 50. I like having both forms available as we do here in Holland, MI. Cal

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.
