Misoprostol for Induction of Labour [Internet].

Background Approximately 55 000 children are born in Norway each year. It is sometimes necessary to induce labour artificially. With respect to induction with drugs, misoprostol and dinoprostone are used irrespective of whether the cervix is mature or not, while oxytocin only is used when the cervix is mature. The Norwegian Board of Health Supervision asked The Norwegian Knowledge Centre for the health Services to systematically review the efficacy and safety of misoprostol for induction of labour.
