A Comparative Study of Misoprostol Only and Mifepristone Plus Misoprostol in Second Trimester Termination of Pregnancy

“…Hou et al [14] in their study reported a total abortion rate of 95-100 % within 24 h, mean IAI was shorter in parous women (6.3 ± 3.7 h) and the mean blood loss 2 h after expulsion of products of conception was 98.3 ± 76.2 ml. Nagaria et al [15] reported a success rate of 100 %, and the mean IAI interval was significantly shorter and the mean dose of misoprostol required was less in the mifepristone pretreated group. Also the mean blood loss was slightly higher in the misoprostol only group.…”
