“…Thirty studies including 6593 women fulfilled our inclusion criteria (26 in English, 3,10,12,16,20–41 2 in Thai, 42,43 1 in each of the following languages French 44 and Chinese 45 ). Preoperative misoprostol was compared to postoperative misoprostol in four studies, 12,17,31,38 1 study compared misoprostol versus carbetocin, 41 another one compared misoprostol to ergometrine 40 and the rest 26 studies compared misoprostol to oxytocin. The dose of misoprostol used ranged from 200 to 800 ug and the routes used included oral, sublingual, rectal, and intrauterine and the timing of administration was either preoperative or intraoperative.…”
