Induction of labour is one of the most commonly practiced interventions in obstetrics all over the world with incidence rates between 10-25% in industrialized countries. Misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin analogue, is an effective agent for inducing uterine contractions. We undertook this study to compare the efficacy of high dose (50mcg) oral misoprostol and intracervical dinoprostone gel in induction of labour and compare the safety of the drugs in induction of labour.
