List of drugs a midwife can administer?

Midwives can administer a variety of medications, depending on their training, certification, and the regulations of their practice area. Commonly, they can provide pain relief options such as nitrous oxide, local anesthetics, and sometimes opioid analgesics. They may also administer medications to manage complications, such as oxytocin for labor induction or uterine contractions, and vitamin K for newborns. However, the specific drugs and their administration can vary significantly based on local laws and the midwife's scope of practice.
