A novel method for giving misoprostol to induce labor: patient considerations and clinical utility

Noah Jonson

One of the most common obstetric procedures is inducing labor, and as the reproductive population in developed nation’s changes, this procedure is likely to become more common. There is a constant search for more effective methods to induce labor while maintaining fetal and maternal safety and patient satisfaction as the proportion of women undergoing induction increases. Methods for achieving active labor and vaginal delivery are constantly under investigation due to the fact that nearly half of induced labors necessitate cervical ripening. Prostaglandins have been shown to be effective inducing labor, and specifically vaginal misoprostol, which can be used without a prescription to start cervical ripening and active labor, has been widely used. The difficulty lies in accurately administering this medication while maintaining the ability to stop taking it when necessary. Utilizing a delivery system that regulates the release of the medication and can be quickly removed, the misoprostol vaginal insert initiates cervical ripening. The misoprostol vaginal insert’s design, development, and clinical utility for inducing labor are examined in this paper, as are patient concerns regarding the delivery method.
