Prostaglandin E2 tablets compared with intravenous oxytocin in induction of labour

J F Miller et al. Br Med J. .

Abstract

Stimulation of uterine activity after amniotomy has been carried out with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) tablets in two dosage regimens and with intravenous oxytocin. Oxytocin stimulation was the most successful. The difference in success rate was most marked in nulliparous patients and those with low Bishop score.
