[F2 alpha prostaglandins and oxytocin in multipara: a comparative study]. / Prostaglandin F2 alpha y oxitocina en la induccion del parto de multiparas: estudio comparativo.

ABSTRACT

PIP Differences existing between F2 alpha prostaglandin and oxytocin, as labor inductors, are studied on 2 groups of multipara by means of intravenous administration. The percent of success was somewhat higher with oxytocin. Labor's duration was prolonged with the use of prostaglandin. The interval between the start of drug's administration and the first contractions onset was shorter in cases in which oxytocin was used. No side effects were observed. (Author's modified)^ieng
