Since 2007, Jezebel has been the Internet's most treasured source for everything celebrities, sex, and politics...with teeth.
“It’s going to set a dangerous precedent for other drugs … what else is coming next? IUDs, birth control pills?” a local OB-GYN told Jezebel.Louisiana doctors are asking a state legislator to reconsider last-minute amendments he made to a bill last week that wouldto the state’s controlled dangerous substances list.
“The majority of people with a uterus have had a reason to need misoprostol at some point,” Louisiana maternal fetal medicine specialist Dr. Jane Martin, who was one of the doctors to sign the open letter, told Jezebel, adding thatlist it sends to the general public, that has no medical education, no medical training, the message that misoprostol is an addictive medicine. Patients might wonder ‘What is my doctor not telling me?’ There are so many layers of this type of taboo and stigma it adds.
Controlled substances can require complex coordination, increased documentation, and longer wait times. The physicians expressed their concern to Pressly that this will result “in fear and confusion,” particularly since misoprostol is not only safe but regularly utilized for cervical ripening, the prevention of catastrophic obstetric hemorrhage following delivery, etc.
Freehill and Martin both said they’re concerned this will make pharmacies even more reluctant to fill prescriptions. They also, independently of one another, talked about the dangerous precedent the amendments are setting, because they are potentially massive changes to Louisiana’s medical practice and were conducted seemingly quickly and without large consensus from OB-GYNs across the state.
