Comparing two doses of oxytocin for inducing labor in women with high BMI
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two doses of oxytocin (a medicine that helps labor contractions) to see which works better for women who are overweight or have obesity (BMI 30 or above) when labor is started or strengthened. Participation could help find the safest and most effective dose for this group.
