It is very uncertain whether oral misoprostol one‐ to two‐hourly changes uterine hyperstimulation without fetal heart rate changes compared with oral misoprostol four‐ to six‐hourly (very low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether oral misoprostol 20 µg hourly titrated changes uterine hyperstimulation with FHR changes compared with oral misoprostol 25 µg two‐hourly static (very low certainty).
