SUBLINGUAL MISOPROSTOL VERSUS OXYTOCIN INFUSION TO REDUCE BLOOD LOSS AT CESAREAN SECTION

Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 3

Abstract

Sublingual misoprostol appears to be as effective as intravenous oxytocin infusion in reducing postpartum blood loss during cesarean section. In addition, misoprostol offers several advantages over oxytocin including long shelf life, stability at room temperature and oral administration which make it as a suitable alternative for routine management of the third stage of labor particularly in low resource countries.
