Recently, a pregnant woman in Chongqing's Changshou District went to the Maternal and Child Health Care and Fertility Service Center in Changshou District for examination because of signs of miscarriage, and after taking the fetal protection drug home, she did not think much about it and took the medicine, but later she was told by the hospital that she knew that she had "taken the wrong medicine", and the hospital mistakenly issued the fetal protection drug as an anti-cancer drug. The Longevity District Maternal and Child Health and Fertility Service Center said it was very apologetic and advised pregnant women to "not have children as well."
It is understood that the pregnant woman with the surname Fu who was two months pregnant came to the Maternal and Child Health And Maternity Service Center in Changshou District to check and found that there were signs of miscarriage, and the doctor suggested that the fetus be protected and prescribed a drug to protect the fetus. But that night, Ms. Fu received a call from the hospital saying that the medicine she took was sent incorrectly. "At that time, the doctor's prescription was progesterone softgels and kidney fertility pills. However, the pharmacy staff mistakenly issued progesterone softgels into torimifene citrate tablets. Ms. Fu said that only later did she learn that torrimifen citrate tablets are drugs for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, and the instructions clearly state that pregnant women should be banned, rather than used with caution.
"I was pregnant for the first time and I just wanted to be a mom, not a hospital (how much money)." Ms. Fu said angrily that since the hospital has a system of taking medicines, it is their responsibility to check and check, "Now pregnant, what will happen to the future of the baby?"
The Benliu News reporter learned that the main role of torimifene citrate tablets is estrogen receptor-positive or unknown metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Its instructions show that because this drug has been found to have reproductive toxicity in animal experiments, due to the lack of data on pregnant and nursing women taking this product, pregnant women are banned from this product.
In this regard, the obstetrician and gynecologist of the Longevity District Maternal and Child Health and Fertility Center said that if a pregnant woman really eats torimifene citrate tablets, it is best not to have children as well, but the decision is up to the patient himself. At the same time, Ms. Fu has a plan for whether to have a child or not to have a child hospital.
The person in charge of the Maternal and Child Health and Fertility Service Center in Changshou District said that after discovering the wrong drug, the hospital called to tell the patient about it. The hospital also investigated, it was the staff error that violated the regulations of the hospital and the regulations of the medical staff management, did not check, and an error occurred. But this has already happened, and the hospital is very sorry and will further consult with the patient.
At present, Ms. Fu also reflected her experience to the Longevity District Health Commission. (Source: Legal Cloud Broadcast)
