A comparative study of 100 pregnant women with singleton pregnancy without complications ,with intact memberanes and cervical dialation of 3 cms and effacement of 50 % was done at Mata Chanan Devi hospital ,New Delhi in the year 2015–2016 ,which were divided into two groups of 50 pateints each.One group of pateints wer given Inj Drotavarine 40 mg I.M. with repeat dosage at 2hr interval and the other group were administered Inj Epidosin 8 mg I.M. with repeat dosage in 30 minutes.Maximum of 3 doses were administered in both the groups.
