misoprostal isn't licenced here is Australia. I wouldn't be prescribing it
if I were a GP. When I was Working at a private Hospital the Obs kept it
in their own possesion. It isn't licenced to be kept at the hospital as far
as I know. The pharmacy at the hospital wouldn't touch it. It's not the
sort of drug you should have at a homebirth anyway.

I am hoping to get a script for Misoprostal (sp) for my homebirth. Any
ideas. Should I just ask a GP? What are they liable for if they do
prescribe
it.
Cheers

Yes, the synto is about $100 a box. So what I do, is buy/pay for one box,
which lasts for the next women ( does that make sense?), I only use Synto
about once a year! ( and then there are the years you need it 3 times in a
row!)

I have a few births at home coming up and was wondering about synto and
other drugs in my kit. How do others purchase them? Do I have to have a
script from a doctor? The other issue that I do find difficult is the
issue
of cost for homebirth.Others I have been involved in have been for friends
and colleagues. Does anyone have a schedule of payment and cost that they
use? I am meeting with a couple on Monday and would love to have a bit
more
idea. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks Cath
Had a client recently who I sent to her GP for a script for synt. She got
the script, went to the chemist to fill it & found it was going to cost
her around $80 to get it - they only sold it in the boxes of five vials.
I
ended up asking around my MIPP friends & managed to find some that way
(dint need it anyway so its still in my fridge).
If you give me your postal address Im happy to post some to you - my
understanding is that its ok to keep it out of the fridge for a time.
cheers
