Oral misoprostol vs intravenous (IV) oxytocin

Uterine hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes · women in the third trimester for induction of labour.

It is very uncertain whether oral misoprostol changes uterine hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes compared with intravenous oxytocin (very low certainty).
