Hi Jo,
I think it is not licenced for use for induction of labour with
live babies in australia. It's ok for stillbirth induction and pph.

From what I've heard, it is a drug not licensed for use in
obstetrics (but it is used, obviously) ... I can't remember it's
primary function though. And I can't be bothered googling right now.

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
