Hospital pharmacy’s would be able to tell you and they are easy to
contact. I am not sure where you
are but the pharmacy at Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide are very
helpful. (08) 8161 7222 is the
direct number for the Drugs in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding information that can
be accessed by anyone. Christine -----Original
Message----- According
to the box, Syntocinon and syntometrine should be stored at between 2-8 degrees
C. Leaving it out of the fridge in room temperature for short periods of
time should not affect it, but the best people to ask are the
distributors, Look on the box for details. MM Just a quick
question.... does anyone know how long Syntocinon can be out of refrigeration
before it starts loosing its effectiveness? Where I am working at the
moment there are an amazing number of PPH's, and also the common practice of
drawing up the synto and having it ready often hours before the birth. Aside
from all the other medical intervention which would contribute to PPH, if
controlled cord traction is started after a dose of ineffective
synto, it's probably contributing to the PPH's. Cheers Michelle On Yahoo!7 |
