Summary
Post partum Hemorrhage (PPH) is one of three main causes of death in pregnant women. Oxytocin
is widely used for prevention of PPH. Some studies suggested misoprostol as an alternative
treatment when Oxytocin isn't available. The aim of this study is to compare the safety and
efficacy of Oxytocin and misoprostol for prevention of PPH.
