Cytotec for induction (was RE: IUD/Abruption)

This cytotec stuff seems to work great. The other day I was struggling to get
a patient with severe preeclampsia at 30 weeks into labor, and despite prostin
gel (x3) and pitocing, she was still 1cm and going nowhere. She really wanted
a vaginal delivery, and there was no pressing reason to section. I spotted
Armando in the hallway, and he suggested 50mcg of misoprostil, and,
amazingly, she delivered without complications 6 hours later! No wonder the
patients I refer to him call him "the King of Ob/Gyns!"

I would like to hear more about use of cytotec for induction of labor. Little buggers cost about $.50 compared to $250 for Cervidil. Anyone have some good protocols for use of Cytotec?? I'll bet there are others on the list who would like to see this too.
