Abstract
Prostaglandins E 2 and F 2 α administered by mouth were used to induce labour in 100 patients between 35 and 44 weeks of gestation. The usual effective dose of prostaglandin E 2 was 0·5 and of F 2 α 5 mg. These were repeated every two hours until labour was established. Induction was successful in 79 out of 80 women treated with oral prostaglandin E 2 and in 16 out of 20 women treated with F 2 α
