Summary

There are gaps in the local data regarding the comparative effectiveness of Foley catheter versus misoprostol for induction of labor (IOL). Therefore, the current study was planned with the objective of comparing the mean induction-to-delivery interval of Foley catheter versus misoprostol for IOL in singleton term pregnancy.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Misoprostol

Women received intravaginal misoprostol 25 μg 4 hours apart, up to a maximum of four doses.
