Titrated Oral Misoprostol as a Safe Route for Induction of Labour at Term (A Clinical Trial)

Induction of labour is to start uterine contraction prior to their spontaneous onset accompanied with cervical dilatation, effacement and descent of fetal presenting part [1]. Induction of labour is frequently indicated for a variety of obstetric and medical problems to achieve benefit to the health of mother and/or baby which must exceed that to be gained by continuing the pregnancy [2]. It is carried out in over 20% of pregnancy in developed countries [3]. As prenatal mortality and fetal compromise increase progressively with gestation beyond 37 weeks. Induction of labour between 37 weeks and 41weeks has the potential to improve neonatal outcome [4].
