Hi Andrea, it is in the book by Sue
Jordan , 2002, Pharmacology for Midwives, published by Palgrave, Hampshire, U.K.
chapter 6, pages 143-174. It had a lot to do with side effects of
oxytocins. This is one of the main texts we are using in our studies for
the Enhanced Role of the Midwife course with the Health Dept W.A. There were no
maybes about it. The text is quite clear. As I said I was surprised
to read it as it had never been pointed out to me before. The possible adverse
effects of both syntocinin syntometrine were surprising too. Cheers,
Mary Murphy

Where did you see this MM
as despite negative encouragement from the midwives syntometrine is used
exclusively where I work and we have no problems with establishement of BF?
What does it mean by adverse effects?

Admittedly I rarely use it, but still, I am usually alert to those kind of
issues. Perhaps, as I said, we treat them rather casually. MM
