AIM: To evaluate effectiveness and safety of titrated oral misoprostol solution (OMS) in
comparison with static-dose oral misoprostol solution for induction of labor at term.
Women with singleton live pregnancy at term without any complications who were admitted in
labor room for induction of labor were enrolled.
Study involves allocation of selected women in two groups randomly and use of either titrated
or static oral misoprostol dose regimen to induce labor. Possible benefits included rapid
induction of labor with oral drug regimen which is easier to comply as compared to vaginal
regimens. Women were at risk of all the complications associated with induction of labor like
labor abnormalities, risk of cesarean section, non reassuring fetal status.
