Clinical Trial Summary

The primary goal of this study is to directly compare repeat doses of sublingual and buccal routes of 400 mcg misoprostol following mifepristone for second trimester abortion in order to determine if sublingual route confers an advantage with respect to efficacy and median time to complete abortion.


Clinical Trial Description

Eligible women 13-21 weeks gestation who give informed consent will be randomized to receive buccal or sublingual misoprostol. Participants will take 200mg mifepristone and return to the hospital 24 hours later to begin induction with misoprostol. 400mcg misoprostol will be given every 3 hours until the expulsion of the fetus and placenta. ;
