Hi Sally, We use Oxycontin 10mg-20mg sustained release BD, Oxycontin 5mg-10mg 2-4 hrly, Diclofenac 50mg 8 hrly and Paracetamol 6hrly. After fourty eight hours we cease the oxycontin and commence Panadeine Forte in place of the Paracetamol. However, we have to watch out for constipation. Otherwise it seems to be a good regime.

There is much angst in our unit at present, with midwives coming from lots of different hospitals used to different regimes. I am in the process of initiating a pathway for this so that we can adopt a regime that everyone is comfortable with and then putting it to the docs, references and all.
