The pro's will really have to answer this but I personally haven't heard of any of my friends or acquaintances having prostglandin E2 gel applied in a couple years. It seems most practioners have abandoned the ole E2 gel in favor of Cytotec and Cervidil. I could easily be wrong on that though.

As for pitocin-I wish I had stock in the company that manufactured it, it is used so frequently it seems.
