Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 What about fertility drug injections? do you have any info on this? thanks, Heidi [ ] PITOCIN Several people have wondered if the labor inducing drug Pitocin contains Thimerosal. Apparently, it does not. If you go to the link below you'll find the manufacturer's product specifications sheet. I called the phone number listed and asked the pharmacist there what preservative it did contain. I was told the preservative was 0.5% Chlorobutanol. That doesn't sound too friendly, but it's not mercury. The link between Pitocin and autism has often been pondered by parents and some professionals, but it would seem that if there is a link, it has nothing to do with Thimerosal. M.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 Hi Anyone any idea WHEN it contained thimerasol, if it does no longer? Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 I don't know if it's true, but My 17 year old son was induced with Pitocin and he is NT. My autistic son was born totally natural, no Pitocin and he is autistic. Labor was approximately four hours. Dorothy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 I've heard that pitocin given to induce labor may contain mercury...does anyone know if this is true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
