A Study on Pre-Induction Cervical Ripening with PGE2 Vaginal Tablet One (3 mg) vs. Half (1.5 mg) in Low Risk Multi Parous Mothers at 40 Weeks of Gestation
Backgrounds: Induction of labor is a common practice. In women with immature cervix, PGE2 is commonly used for
pre-induction. We hypothesized that PGE2 1.5mg may be equally effective to PGE2 3mg in multiparous women for labor induction. The
present effort was an attempt to compare the efficacy and effects of
pre-induction cervical ripening with PGE2 3mg vs. 1.5mg in multi-parous mothers (2nd and 3rd Pregnancy)
at 40 weeks.Methods: A double-blind
