Cytotec (Misoprostol) is an ulcer drug being used off-label by the medical
system to induce labor -- despite the fact the warning label says the drug is
not safe to be used with pregnant women. Cytotec causes uterine rupture and
amniotic fluid embolism, both of which can, and often do, lead to death.
Thousands of women and babies have died as a result of this drug and medical
system is responsible for all the deaths. The doctors, midwives and/or nurses
and other medical staff involved in the use of this drug ought to be charged
with murder.

Woman died after ruptured uterus treated as labour

"DOCTORS treating a woman who died after being induced to
deliver a stillborn baby assumed she was suffering normal labour pains when in
fact her uterus had ruptured.
They did not discover that 32-year-old Nigerian-born Bimbo Onanuga's uterus had
ruptured until an emergency caesarean section was carried out after she went
into cardiac arrest at the Rotunda Hospital on March 4, 2010.
Despite the emergency procedure, the young mother of one, from Finglas in
Dublin, suffered massive internal bleeding and died later that night.
An inquest into her death at Dublin Coroner's Court previously heard that she
was 30 weeks' pregnant when doctors at the Rotunda confirmed the absence of a
foetal heartbeat.
Medically induced labour was commenced and she was discharged.
Ms Onanuga returned to the hospital two days later complaining of abdominal
pain. This was considered normal. The following morning, she was given her first
dose of misoprostol, an ulcer medication commonly used for labour induction.
The court heard that there are licensing issues with misoprostol's use in
inducing labour but it is widely employed for this purpose by obstetricians in
Ireland.
At the resumption of the inquest yesterday, Dr Louise Fay, assistant master at
the Rotunda at the time, said she examined Ms Onanuga at about 2.30pm at the
request of a midwife. Labour had not yet been established and she recommended
gas for Ms Onanuga's pain, she said.
She also noted that some of the misoprostol administered to Ms Onanuga that
morning had not fully dissolved; however, she said, this was not an issue of
concern.
When questioned about Ms Onanuga's pain by barrister for the family Dr Ciaran
Craven, Dr Fay said it was consistent with an induced labour.
PAINFUL
"The induction process can start uterine activity, which can be quite painful,"
she said.
When midwives raised the alarm after Ms Onanuga's sudden collapse 40 minutes
later, Dr Fay carried out the emergency c-section. On opening the abdominal
cavity, she discovered a uterine rupture with "massive" internal bleeding.
Consultant anaesthetist Dr John Loughrey said that bleeding following a rupture
of the uterus in a pregnant woman could be very rapid at up to two litres per
minute. The extensive haemorrhaging affected Ms Onanuga's blood clotting,
causing further difficulties.
The inquest, which was attended by Ms Onanuga's partner Abiola Adesina, was
adjourned for further hearing on November 5."
