I've changed the title to 'licensed drugs in O&G' as this is too good a psot to hide away - hope that is OK. (changed back now as I have seen you have posted more questions and at least this allows us to discuss each drug in more detail should we need / want to do so). It is interesting, to say the least, that the only drugs the BNF and RCOG can agree on are not licensed!!

The MCQs could remain here this way so that we are able to discuss each drug in more detail should we need / want to do so. The table of drugs and licensing information could go to Key facts in O&G with the title "licensed drugs in O&G' since you feel this is too good a post to hide away. Do you want me to do that? cpeed Back to top Nick Raine-Fenning Course Director Joined: 27 May 2006 Posts: 1862 Location: Nottingham Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 4:05 pm    Post subject: Please - perfect compromise Back to top cpeedahsa Century Club Joined: 21 Apr 2007 Posts: 922 Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 5:09 pm    Post subject: Nick Raine-Fenning wrote: Please - perfect compromise Done!!
