Résumé

A multicentre, randomized, double-blind trial compared the efficacy and safety of and tolerance to natural and synthetically produced prostaglandin E₂ tablets in the induction of labour in 202 women. The compounds were similarly effective, inducing labour in approximately 66% of patients. The total dose required and the interval between induction and delivery were similar in the two groups, as were the Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes and the incidence of maternal and fetal side effects.
