Low-dose oxytocin induction: start 0.5–2 mU/min, increase by 1–2 mU/min every 15–40 minutes until adequate contractions (3–5 per 10 min, 40–60 sec duration). Maximum dose typically 20–40 mU/min. High-dose protocol: start 4–6 mU/min, increase every 15–20 min. Monitor for tachysystole (>5 contractions/10 min).
