ST-MOM: A Life-Saving Drug

ST-MOM: A Life-Saving Drug

One of the greatest titles in the world for a woman is to be called ‘mother’ and it’s the most blessed feeling for a woman to give birth to another life. But there can be complications. The loss of more than 500 ml or 1,000 ml of blood within the first 24 hours following childbirth, known as the postpartum bleeding, is one of those complications.

Giving the medication to stimulate the uterus to contract shortly after the baby is born is one of the cures for postpartum bleeding. ZAFA proudly states that it provides those mothers suffering from postpartum bleeding with a life-saving drug ‘ST-MOM’. This drug is a no profit, no loss drug formulated with Misoprostol.

ST-MOM is a marvelous choice to prevent postpartum hemorrhage and an excellent option for induction of labor. Access to this essential, life-saving medicine is a matter of health equity especially those women from remote areas, delivering at home. ST-MOM is an effective drug cheap and readily available to save young mothers.

It is recommended due to the low rate of side effects from its usage. ST-MOM can be given orally or rectally for this use, making it much more convenient in areas where nurses and physicians are less accessible.

ZAFA believes that no matter where a woman gives birth, quality health care must be available which is why ST-MOM is introduced.
