Résumé :

A double blind clinical trial was carried out in 2 well-matched groups of 20 normal pregnancies ( ≤ 36 weeks) with Pitocin® and prostaglandin F2α, administered intravenously in a fixed dose schedule, in order to induce parturition. Uterine contractions and fetal heart rate were recorded. Under the conditions of the set-up no differences in efficacy and the frequency of unwanted side-effects were observed. Prostaglandin F2α given in this dose schedule was more frequently followed by hypertonia than Pitocin®. © 1972.
