Castor oil

On my talk page, you said: I noticed that you reverted my edits for castor oil. Because I reviewed the evidence I am wondering why that was necessary. I am a medical doctor and scientist (Prof.) and no newby to evidence based medicine. Please be so kind to clarify the edits.

First, please sign and timestamp your talk page comments by using the signature icon in the upper left of the edit box, or by four tildes from your keyboard.

This disputed edit here cited one primary source (PMID 28750937) and a Cochrane review with no conclusion possible, here. There is no WP:MEDRS review supporting use of castor oil to induce labor. Zefr (talk) 16:52, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
