According to WHO, Quinnine is known to be safe in first trimester preganancy. It does not cause miscarriage. Rather, it is the malaria that causes miscarriage. Coartem is not conclusively safe in early pregnancy as there are not enough data to prove its safety yet. Some new studies however, show it could be safe in pregnancy. I do not see any malpractice here OP. Sorry for your loss. 13 Likes 1 Share |

The number of quack doctors we have in the health sector in this country is alarming! If not for God, I would have been dead from wrong prescription from a doctor who swore on oath to save my life. 1 Like 1 Share |

0monnakoda:lol Op said MP was 1+ which in otherwise healthy adult is not significant. But sometimes, startin treatment based on 1+ is justified if clinical symptoms are supportive of malaria. In pregant people, you dont want to take any chance. What is not clear is what caused her miscarriage. But from what is known, we cannot blame the quinine. Op thinks its the quinine, but he is wrong. He should have sought for knowledge. Everythin is here online. The public is simply not doing their due diligence when it comes to medicine. Instead, they prefer the blame game in things they have not tried to understand. I think it is lack of communication. Treating sick pregnant people is dicey and challenging. Most times you are in a dillema. It helps to tell them what is safe and what is not safe, but necessary. 1 Like |

offshoreking:Shame on you. You couldn't give your first child a first class treatment. After all the struggle abroad like you claim. You killed him yourself for not taking her to a better hospital . Your sisters wife work in one of the biggest an d best hospital and you decided to take your wife to a dead hospital. Shame on you, you killed your baby yourself and if I was your in-law I would sue you. All you did well was to spread her legs and got her pregnant and you run around patronizing quacks and brainless pharmacist who only want to sell their drugs. |

Sorry OP. Hope your wife gets better soon. the doctor saying scan should show result of early pregnancy, what kind if scaning equipment does he have? Yes new exprnsive machines can show pregnancy of a few weeks as soon as the heart starts beating and its done vaginaly too. I doubt its that type they did for your wife. Na wa. If it makes you feel better sha, we lost 4 pregnancies before we got out 2 kids And one was caused by a "doctor" too. The first successful pregnancy was almost destroyed by a nurse who gave the wrong prescription to my wife. Luckliy for me, I insisted she called her doctor to be sure cos on the leaflet they said not to be taken by pregnant women. The doctor said hell Nooo, hope you did not take it? and asked to bring it back to the hospital. She was given another persons meds( Nowadays we ask the doctor the name of the medication before leaving his office just incase nurse gives us the wrong stuff ). Its well. Wishing you guys twins in future. NB, misscariages could happen spontenously too. Sometimes the body may sense some problem with tge fetus and expell it. At least that was what our doctors told us then. Next time sha, you and wifey should prepare her body before TTC. she should sleep under net and eat healthy, that way the early days of her pregnancy will happen a bit more peaceful. All women who are TTC should do so too. 1 Like |

Your story is sooo long, but i had to read every single bit, because i'm a doctor, and really wanted to know what happened. Before i continue, i have to say a very big sorry for your loss......its hard to be told of a pregnancy, only to be disappointed. Having said that, let's get down....... 1. Calling d doctor a quack is a bit premature_ at the beginning of the 3rd paragraph u said u showed him d drugs your wife HAD BEEN TAKING. Oh...so she was even taking drugs BEFORE she met this doctor ? what drugs ? could have been the cause. 2. There are some conditions that will give you '' pregnancy positive test '', but nothing will be in your womb.....like ectopic gestation. Even a molar pregnancy may show '' postive pregnancy test '', but molar pregnancy is not a baby. Even some fibroids will show positive pregnancy, if its big enough. ** plz, doctors on this forum should correct me, if am wrong.........we are all learning. 3. That doesn't mean there are no quacks around...... for d benefit of others in d future, plz check out the hospital you are about to go to. But am saying the above, just from d story u told. Once again, sorry for the misfortune. God will surely give u guys another child........other children in fact. 9 Likes |

When doctors save lives, noone comes here to share the story. But when a doctor is misfortuned to lose a case, that's when all kinds of insults, derogatory comments come up. Go to LUTH and see the number of lives lost there, does that make LUTH or the doctors in LUTH quack? Your wife had a spontaneous abortion. It could have been the drugs the pharmacist recommended to her, it could have been the injections the doctor prescribed, or it could have been physiological(anembryonic pregnancy). Next time, gets your findings right before scandalising. 1 Like |

offshoreking:Bro sorry for ur loss. But u and ur wife should have treaded more carefully na. 'Strong' anti malaria drugs induces abortion..either of the two drugs could cause an abortion, but i think the Cortem is the main cause. The Doc gambled by giving her quinin and the combination hit hard. U should have taken her to her sis's home. That's the proper thing u would have done. I guess the pressure of 'score goal, prove u ar a man' before going back made u ancious and 'overracting. Pls calm down, all will be fine. God bless u and make u fruitful. 1 Like |

Not everyone who calls himself (or whom we call) a "Doctor" is a Doctor. Not every one who calls himself (or whom we call) a "Nurse" is a Nurse. Not every "Chemist" store owner is a Pharmacist. The least place I always recommend for someone seeking medical help is the General Hospital, not Private Clinics. Sorry about your loss. |

omicron:I think the fact that doctor is prepared to discredit the pregnancy test is worrying.Even now it should be possible to confirm if she was ever pregnant. If indeed she did have a "miscarriage" you are right that the reason is UNKNOWN. We cannot say quinine is not to blame .At best we can say it is unlikely based on xyz. We DO NOT KNOW. Everything is NOT online as far as adverse reactions are concerned.New ones are reported daily. Drugs are withdrawn or discontinued for that reason. The true doctor never assumes that ALL knowledge has been .There is always something to learn. G6PD is one theoretical explanation,accidental overdose is another there are others no doubt. G6PD individuals have partial immunity to malaria and quinine can cause miscarriages.Therefore if malaria was misdiagnosed and quinine administered unnecessarily there is a case for malpractice,IF On the other hand ,in pregnancy symptomatic malaria has a 50% risk of miscarriage and 33% where there are no symptoms. 3 Likes |

stonecoldcafe:Why accusing the doctor when he already started with a pharmacy without proper prescription from a doctor. They were so nonchalant about the baby. Why would you go get drugs first at the pharmacy without first consulting with a doctor? self medication and now you pour all the blame on the doctor. They are only after the pleasure during intercourse and he never prepared for the wife for pregnancy, take due test and making sure she is very fine. 3 Likes |

Next time, let your wife go to government hospital once she is pregnant. Get her registered there. Pregnancy period is a very delicate time for the pregnant woman. Very few can doctors can handle them. Pregnant women are usually given IPTp and not all those malaria tabs. And for the women especially, always try to get malaria test from time to time knowing that if pregnancy set in there with it, it'll affect the development of the fetus. This should serve a lesson to all. 1 Like |

OP, I am sorry for the whole incident. To put the records straight anyway, the doctor prescribed what the recommended medicine is for malaria in 1st trimester- which is quinine. coartem isn't recommended for 1st trimester but if the doctor's experience with coartem is good, he may use it. Quinine, unfortunately has this dual property of being safe in malaria in first trimester and also causing miscarriage in some patients. My only concern is that at least, a malaria test of significant titre should have been relied on more. 2 Likes |
