This is a large, community-based, cluster-randomized trial to compare routine prophylactic use of 600 mcg oral misoprostol and 10 IU oxytocin delivered by UnijectTM intramuscularly during the third stage of labor.
This study will assess the programmatic implications (including feasibility, acceptability, costs, risks and benefits) at the community level of the introduction of misoprostol and/or oxytocin in UnijectTM for the prevention of PPH and will help to identify the appropriate niche for both drugs.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Mean change in hemoglobin | To establish the comparable effectiveness of two technologies, individual pre- and post-delivery Hb measures will be taken to calculate change in Hb. This will be done using a Hemocue Hemoglobin machine + cuvette (HemoCue, Angelholm, Sweden). The Hemocue is a simple means of collecting Hb measures at the community-level where traditional laboratory techniques are not feasible. | during 3rd trimester and 1-3 days postpartum |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| occurrence and management of side effects | nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, shivering, fever | 1 hour postpartum |
| correct timing of drug administration | administration of the drug after the birth of the baby and verifying no twin, before the expulsion of the placenta |
