While we do not use it for ripening, we are using it (almost exclusively) for induction of labor in any patient whose cervix is <2-3 cm. We've done a local RCT compaing 50 mcg to 25 mcg and 50 is the superior dosage. We've seen no cases of hyperstimulation that did not respond to a 2 gram bolus of MgSo4.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
