Summary
This study tested whether a medicine called isosorbide mononitrate, given to help soften the cervix, could reduce the need for C-sections in first-time mothers whose pregnancies went past 41 weeks. Over 1,400 women took part. The goal was to see if this outpatient treatment could safely lower C-section rates and improve birth outcomes.
