Oxytocins Known risks to mother and fetus/neonate, Martindale Pharmacopoeia, The Royal Pharmaceutical Society
Some drugs create or maintain holes in the fetus / neonate's heart , such as Frusemide. Other drugs ( Oxytocins ) offered the mother threaten the child to have immediate cord clamping depriving the child of nutrients of the stem cell blood, then trapped in his/her placenta. Research by Donna Young
The risk of the pregnant mother accepting drugs, such as Oxytocin(s) by a variety of names is often withheld information at all government controlled prenatal classes, run by Registered Nurses, so the mother is not prepared for warm water births, rather then using drugs.
The nurses declare their government-controlled programs, many set by the Reproduction
Care Programs, that are Federal
and Provincial, must be followed as set for them. They alleged that nothing can be added,
nothing subtracted, very controlled,
and they are paid for by the consumer of medical services.
This was tight control, false or otherwise, was found to be true to the
false teaching of the "practical nurses" taking courses
from the programs run again by "registered-nurses" directing immediate cord clamping on all
babies. This was at the new local
program at the College in my area. The excuse by the directors and teachers of this course was
on the pretense of the child
having jaundice.
The registered-nurses were not thinking what adult agrees to have their blood
drained up to 50 percent or more if they get
jaundice? Some excuse for getting the child's stem cells, eh, any pretense to alleged a benefit
for the child. This belief is thought
it will keep them from being charged with needless risk of endangering, but what fact did they have
the blood, at the time the
doctor and nurse clamped the cord was tested to be poisoned and needing blood-letting, and did they
then confirm how much
blood they saved the child from toxic blood, forcing the child into a blood transfusion and oxygen administrations? Often those
must follow immediate cord clamping.
The hospitals seem to have a conflict of interest when it comes to drugs and
the pregnant women, for they follow a policy of
"active management" which supports the management of the various stages of labor, to hasten
it, or slow it down by drugs. The
women, trusting in no harm done and to be warned of all risks involved, are NOT warned.
The following is some of the information withheld and most communities do not
allow research in the Hospital's reference
books, most libraries do not carry them, nor the public school resource centers.
Oxytocin (sometimes more information is available under the name Toesen). See also Furosemide
/ Frusemide, below.

On page 1290, Chapter, Hypothalamic and PituitaryHormones, Martindale reports warnings that oxytocin
causes jaundice,
haematological disturbances, including erythrocyte fragility or reduction in erythrocyte fragility
or reduction in
erythrocyte deformability, hyponatraemia, hypo-osmolality, and an increase in serum-bilirubin concentration. Glucose
injection,
used as a vehicle for oxytocin may have further aggravated these changes.

Other Adverse Effects:
- Violent uterine contractions leading to uterine rupture and extensive laceration of the soft tissues, foetal bradycardia, foetal arrhythmias, and foetal asphyxiation, and perhaps, foetal or maternal death.
- Maternal deaths from severe hypertension and sub-arachnoid haemorrhage have occurred.
- Postpartum haemorrhage and fatal afibrinogenaemia have been reported.
- Water retention leading to hyponatraemia and intoxication, and even death may occur, especially when oxytocin is given intravenously over prolonged periods.
Just to name a few known risk of using oxytocins and most women are not so informed at the government
controlled prenatal
courses or by the nurses at the hospital offering women these drugs under the pretense the use of drugs
is pain free and without
risks.
Note the dates. The medical societies have always known harm by drugging the pregnant woman
for a long time. The preface
is not to promote one drug over another ; but neither do they uphold Universal Declarations of no form
of discrimination of any
kind to women and to withhold information on drugs offered her during pregnancy so she can make informed
decisions, is a form
of discrimination.
That withholding of information to a pregnant woman or to tell her so she can make an informed decision long before the child's due date is Universal in all medical books, whether written by man or woman. What is the bias is the collaboration of power, whether man or woman, of a organized professional groups not to uphold Constitutions and Charter of Rights and Freedoms. That includes informed choice on such medical matters, and rejection of treatment deemed of any risk for treatment that are safer, an comparative no risk.
Most government control hospitals are not providing for the expecting mothers warm water births, the right of the woman in all hospitals, so the woman can manage her labor contractions discomfort without drugs, that endanger her and her fetus.
The midwives and doctors, seem to be tying in their profession and services, in most cases, to the
drug companies. By using
their drugs, that they call "active management" they are supporting the drug companies
rather than what could be doing for a
natural birth (which do take longer for the child to arrive at his/her own time schedule.
Being patient on the baby's arrival then there is 90 percent of the babies and the mothers would be
fine. The mothers would not
need the reported increase of 23 percent of the c-section now taking place. The medical costs
of the United States for births is
reported to be now up to $25 Billion. Most women would opt for homebirths, if educated. Undrugged water births are very wise
followed by no clamping or cutting of the child's lifeline/hopeline.
Furosemide / Frusemide
p 870 Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 31 edition 1996, reprinted 1997.
Frusemide is a potent diuretic which acts primarily by inhibiting electrolyte reabsorption in the loop of Henle. It may be effective in patients in who do not respond to thiazide diuretics, including those with impaired renal function. it can produce adverse effects on fluid and electrolyte balance including hyponatraemia, hypokalaemia, and hypchloraemic alkalosis. Ingredients: 4 chloro-N-furfuryl-t-sulphamoylanthranilic acid.
Preterm Infants: Nephrocalcinosis has been reported when frusemide has
been used to treat preterm infants.
Frusemide may provoke hyperglycaemia and glycosuria, but lesser extent than
the thiazide diuretics. it may cause
hyperuricaemia and precipitated attacks of gout in some patients.
Other side effects of Frusemide: gastro-intestinal disturbances,
(This is often called a colic baby); blurred vision, yellow
vision, dizziness, headache, and orthostatic hypotension. Skin rashes and photosensitivity reactivity
reactions including interstital
nephritis occur. Pancreatitis (this could be the start of a diabetic disorder) is more
common at high doses and cholestatic
jaudice (indicates liver problems). Bone marrow depression may occur:
Blood disorders: agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and leucopenia have been reported. Tinnitus and deafness
may occur by rapid high-dose parenteral frusemide therapy. Deafness may be permanent particularly
if frusemide has been
given to patients taking other ototoxic drugs.
Effects of Frusemide on the electrolyte balance
, p 871 Martindale.
Frusemide increase renal calcium excretion (the evidence of bone marrow
depression). There is a danger of
hypocalcaemic tenteny during frusemide administration in hypoparthyroid patients. It has
also been reported in a patient with
latent hypoarathyo=roidism following thyroidectomy.
There are reports of hypercalciuria, rickets, renal calculi, and hyper-parathyroidism
in neonates treated with frusemide.
Frusemide is commonly used in the treatment of cardia and pulmonary disorders in premature infants and
neonates. This age
group appears to be particularly susceptible to adverse effects arising from the increase in urinary
calcium excretion which
occurs during long-term frusemide therapy. Increases in parathyroid hormone concentration and
evidence of bone resorption
support the suggestion that the increased calcium loss causes secondary hyperparathyroidism.
There have been reports of decreased mineral content of bone, rickets, fractures,
and renal calcification. Hufnagle's
observation that renal calcification could be reversed by the addition of thiazide diuretic was supported
by Noe. There is
evidence that frusemide-related renal calcification in very low birth-weight infants might be associated
with long-term impairment
of kidney function. Salmon has suggested that sodium deficit in infants
treated with frusemide for heart failure may contribute to
a failure to thrive.
P. 872 Several studies have shown frusemide to be a potent displacer
of bilirubin from albumin binding sites and it
should be used with caution in jaundiced infants. The clearance of frusemide is much slower in
neonates than in adults, with an
eightfold prolongatin in plasma half-life, and this should be taken into account during repeat dosing.
During pregnancy, frusemide crosses the placenta. Frusemide is a potent
diuretic and reductions in maternal blood
volume following administration could compromise placental perfusion. Frusemide is excreted in
breast milk.
Frusemide is highly bound to plasma proteins, almost exclusively to albumin.
HOLES IN THE HEART
:
Frusemide causes increased incidence of patent ductus arteriosus in infants given frusemide, (hole in the heart); Infants are given frusemide for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (lung disorder often caused by insufficiency of blood volume and pressure caused by early cord clamping). However, the concurrent use of frusemide does not seem to inhibit duct closure during treatment with another drug, "indomethacin" and may reduce adverse renal effects of indomethacin.
