Brief Summary

Previous research has confirmed that hemorrhage is among the most commonly encountered pregnancy complications in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR). This trial will test the effectiveness of a traditional Tibetan drug (Zhi Byed 11) vs. misoprostol to prevent postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) among women delivering vaginally in three hospitals in Lhasa, TAR.
