The data are already available: The intravaginal use of misoprostol tablets have been compared with Prepidil (0.5 mg of intracervical dinoprostone PGE2 gel) in at least 7 randomized clincial trials. All have shown misoprostol to be as effective or more effective than Prepidil. A partial list of references can be obtained from our meta-analysis published in Obstet Gynecol 1997;89:633-42. We and others have also compared the safety and efficacy of misoprostol with Cervidil (10 mg controlled release dinoprostone[PGE2]). In our study, Obstet Gynecol 1998;91:401-5., we concluded that misoprostol was more effective and less expensive than Cervidil. Another study from California reached similar conclusions Am J Obstet Gynecol 1997;177:612-8. -- Luis Sanchez-Ramos, MD Next message: Calvin J.

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.
