Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of the study is to determine whether important clinical outcomes differ among women who access a misoprostol-only medication abortion regimen from a patent medicine vendor when compared with those who access it from a clinic.


Clinical Trial Description

Medication abortion with a misoprostol-only regimen within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy is safe and effective. Investigators aim to assess whether self-use of early (<9 weeks) medication abortion using a misoprostol-only regimen results in non-inferior rates of clinical outcomes when compared with clinic-based provision of medication abortion.

The investigators will prospectively recruit women who obtain misoprostol from patent medicine vendors and clinics. Follow-up will occur by telephone during three phone calls within 45 days of the first dose of misoprostol. ;
