Mandatory informed consent for off-label use of drugs
 

The need is for mandatory informed consent when considering the use of off-label drugs in the health care field. Too many womyn and babies have already died or had grave consequences from the application of Cytotec during labor and birth. It is imperative that mandatory regulations are put into place and upheld for the safety of all involved.
