Subjects and Methods: Total of 54 pregnant women were randomly assigned into two groups according to inclusion and exclusion criteria: group SM: 27 pregnant women received Sublingual 50mcg misoprostol and group SV: 27 pregnant women received vaginal misoprostol 50mcg. Results: The mean Bishop was 3.57±1.24 in sublingual group and 3.84±1.36 in the vaginal group (p value 0.36). Statistically not significant association between parity and route of administration of drug. The mean number of doses required for successful induction was 1.51 in sublingual and 1.1 in the vaginal group.
