Abstract

Equivalent doses of oxytocin and prostaglandin F2a required to produce a specific amount of uterine activity in vivo in 6 patients at term, were determined. The ratio of prostaglandin to oxytocin is 3,14 : 1 when potency is compared. For any further studies designed to compare these two drugs to have validity, this ratio must be borne in mind.
