Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Università degli Studi, Milan, Italy.

One hundred seventy-two term pregnant women with medical or obstetric conditions requiring induction of labor were treated with intracervical administration of 0.5 mg prostaglandin E2 in tylose gel. Multiple administrations were necessary in 42 cases (24.4%), two administrations in 31 cases (18.0%) and three administrations in 11 cases (6.4%). Intracervical administration of PGE2 tylose gel (0.5 mg dose) is useful to prime the cervix, induce labor, and significantly modify Bishop score.
