Background: Induction of labour is an intervention that artificially initiates uterine contractions leading to progressive dilatation and effacement of cervix and expulsion of fetus prior to spontaneous onset of labour. Methods: This study was carried out in Labour ward at Apollo BGS Hospitals, a tertiary health care centre in Kuvempunagar, Mysore. 50 patients with an indication for induction of labour was receive 0.5 mg intracervical dinoprostonegel and repeated for a maximum of 3 doses every 6 hours as needed. 50 patient with an indication for labour induction was receive with 20ml [20 microgm] oral misoprostol solution and repeated every 2 hourly until adequate uterine contractions occurred [3 contractions per 10 min lasting 30-40 second]. Results: The average number of cerviprime gel doses given per patient was 1.42 ± 0.6417, whereas the average number of oral misoprostol solution doses given per patient was 4.52±1.2162 (p < 0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion, we found that both misoprostol and dinoprostone are useful and safe drugs for cervical ripening and labour induction when used at flexible doses and at intervals of 6 hours between doses in a low-risk population with unfavourable cervices. However, misoprostol offers the advantages of more rapid labour and less cost.
