Brief summary

Research Objective: Primary outcome -To compare efficacy Intrauterine vs Sublingual MISOPROSTOL in addition to Oxytocin in reducing blood loss of post-cesarean section in high risk women Secondary outcome -To study Hemoglobin/Hematocrit change, need of uterotonic agents, need of blood transfusion, adverse drug event of Intrauterine vs Sublingual Misoprostol plus Oxytocin compare to Oxytocin alone Hypothesis: -Intrauterine MISOPROSTOL plus Oxytocin is not inferior to Sublingual MISOPROSTOL plus Oxytocin in reducing blood loss of post-cesarean section in high risk women
