PPH in patients who received oxytocin

Hi all, we have seen an anecdotal (at this point) increase in post-partum hemorrhage over the last week, even in patients that have received usual amount of oxytocin. This has befuddled the medical director, and she is curious if there is a potential issue with the product we are using. Has anyone else using 503(b) oxytocin experienced anything similar recently?

Thanks,

Kara Thornton
