As a consumer I'm finding this very intriguing. I was given suppositories in the OR then nothing but panadol thereafter and went home the same day. I was offered a huge C class drug to take home (and assured it didn't cross into bm despite asking directly - big lie there) but I never took them. I

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.

What I am used to is the women having a spinal and that 1-2mg morphine is put in the spinal. The woman has a voltaren 100mg supp whilst in theatre post op and then BD or swaps to oral 50mg as chosen. We start giving regular panadol within 24 hours usually prior to getting her up or as needed

We use 1g panadol and 100mg doloxene given (usually) together, and then 400mg ibuprofen in between if they need it. Usually they have the intrathecal morphine, but can also come back from theatre with either a PCA (patient controlled analgesia) with morphine, or pethidine or fentanyl. Or thy

I agree...the panadol and voltaren must be given regularly for the first 3 days, to be most effective. Tanya. - Original Message - From: Andrea Quanchi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 5:44 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] post LUSCS
