E-drug: Drug Stability-oxytocics and misoprostol
----------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone have data on the shelf life of oxytocics / misoprostol. I would
also be interested in their heat stability in hot (tropical) climates.
Thanks,

[Note from moderator: The following publications give some information:
WHO/UNICEF study on stability of drugs during international transport.
WHO/DAP/91.1.
Inland stability study (Sudan). Pilot study 1989-91. WHO/DAP/91.4
Walker GJA, et al. Potency of ergometrine in tropical countries. Lancet
1988;2:393
Hogerzeil HV et at. Stability of essential drugs during shipment to the
tropics. BMJ 1992;304:210-4WHO/Unicef has data on at least some.
In addition, I think Unicef has more recent data, but cannot advise you
further. KM]
