Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to study if misoprostol administered orally is at least as effective as misoprostol administered vaginally for cervical ripening and the induction of labor. The main purpose is to show that oral misoprostol administration is non-inferior to vaginal misoprostol administration with respect to the time interval from misoprostol administration to onset of active phase of labor. The study is a non-inferiority, prospective randomized controlled trial comparing oral misoprostol given as 25 mcg every 2 hours versus vaginal misoprostol given as 25 mcg every 4 hours.
