Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Oral misoprostol against vaginal dinoprostone for labor induction at term: a randomized comparison].
It was the objective of this study to compare the efficacy and safety of oral misoprostol with those of vaginal dinoprostone for the induction of labour at term. ⋯ Oral misoprostol is effective and safe for induction of labour at term. In addition, it is much cheaper and independent of storage conditions. At the doses and with the administration intervals used in this study, dinoprostone was slightly more effective than misoprostol.
