ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of phlorohlucinol on cervical dilatation. Methods Totaling 250 normal parturients were randomized into four study groups (50 in each group) and control group (n=50). Phloroglucinol was given in the study groups(group1,2,3 and 4)at the dose of 40 mg to the cervix and/or 160 mg and 200 mg intravenously during the latent phase. The control group (group1) received only atropine (0.5 mg) intravenously. Results The overall speed of cervical dilatation in the study group was (2.82?1.82) cm/h and (1.78?1.01) cm/h in the control group. The mean time of the first stage of labor was (14.23?1.11) h and (17.71?2.23) h in the study and control group, respectively (P
