RATIONALE FOR MISOPROSTOL 

Intrauterine pressure and cumulative uterine activity of 200 to 400 mcg misoprostol is similar to syntometrine (5U oxytocin + 0.5mg ergometrine)



The mean onset of action of oral misoprostol (6.1± 2.1 min) was significantly slower than that of intramuscular syntometrine (3.2 ±1.5 min

MISOPROSTOL IN TREATING POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE 

On going blood loss of 500 ml or more is less with misoprostol RR 0.57 (0.34-0.96)



Subjective cessation of hemorrhage is more with misoprostol RR 0.18 (0.04-0.76)



Pyrexia is higher RR 6.4 (1.7-24)



Shivering is higher RR 2.3 (1.7-3.2) Hofmeyr et al, a systemic review, BJOG, 2005

Hofmeyr et al, BMC Pregnancy and childbirth, 2004

MISOPROSTOL IN TREATING POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE 



  

Descriptive studies used doses of 800 to 1000 mcg misoprostol Misoprostol was used as the last line of medical treatment in cases unresponsive to oxytocin and ergometrine Rectal, oral, intrauterine routes were used Their results are better than controlled trials They have the inherent potential of bias

COST EFFECTIVENESS OF MISOPROSTOL 

1tb 200 mcg misoprostol = 1 amp ergometrine = 1 US $



In a hypothetical cohort of 10.000 women misoprostol 1000mcg in cases with postpartum hemorrhage >500 ml can save: 

115.335 US $ in costs of referral



13.991 – 1.563.593 US $ in costs of therapy

CONCLUSION 

Current data supports misoprostol use for the prevention of postpartum hemorrhage



The earlier administration may result in better prevention



More studies are needed for its role in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage



Identical placebos should be produced for any potential bias

CONCLUSION 

Further pharmacological data are needed to deliver misoprostol rapidly



Sublingual route is the most promising but p.o. route can also be used with or without rectal combination



Doses of ≤ 600 mcg have less side effects



Political action is needed for its wider use
