Abstract
Efficacy of misoprostol was studied for induction of labor at term. Seventy patients were randomized to Group A ( n=36, oral misoprostol 50 μg four hourly to maximum of 5 doses) and B ( n=34, continuous oxytocin infusion). Induction-delivery interval was shorter with misoprostol (7.7±2.8 h against 14.3±4.8 h with oxytocin) but the rates of vaginal delivery, cesarean, neonatal outcome variables were similar. Hence, misoprostol is an effective agent for induction of labor at term.
