Abstract
Abstract. The efficacy of oral PGE2 tablets and buccal demoxytocin (resoriblets) for the induction of labor in cases of premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) after the 37th week of gestation has been evaluated in a prospective, randomized investigation of 193 women. PGE2 tablets (Pro‐stinR) were given to 109 parturients and demoxytocin resoriblets (SandopartR) to 84. The former were given in increasing doses from an initial 0.5 mg to a maximum of 1.5 mg every hour. The demoxytocin was administered at a constant dosage of 50 I.U. every 30 min.
