[The course of induced labor after use of intracervical extra-amniotic prostaglandin F2 alpha in pregnant patients with EPH gestosis].

The aim of our study was to assess the efficacy of labor induction among patients affected by EPH gestosis after intracervical extra-amniotic insertion of 15 mg PGF2 alpha in methyl-cellulose gel. We concluded that PGF2 alpha when given intracervically in methyl-cellulose gel is a highly effective inducer of cervical ripening process as well as subsequent uterine contractions, too. It should be stressed that in no case did we find blood pressure increase after such therapy.
