Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 23
Abstract
[b]INTRODUCTION:[/b] Nearly 20% of all confirmed pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion. Misoprostol’s use in early pregnancy failure is varied and dose and route are not well established. [b]AIM: [/b]To study the efficacy of sublingual misoprostol in causing expulsion of products of conception in early pregnancy failure. [b]METHODS[/b]: Women with an ultrasound diagnosis of early pregnancy failure, less than 12 weeks gestation were included in the study. Tablet Misoprostol 600 mcg was given six hourly sublingually for 3 doses. All observations were noted and analyzed. [b]RESULTS:[/b] Mean gestational age was 7.946+1.2 weeks. Mean induction abortion interval was 18.241+1.2 hours. Women with gestational age six to eight weeks had least mean induction-abortion interval time of 17.38+2. Mean dose required was 1564mcg.Efficacy of protocol was 92.85% in achieving complete abortion. [b]CONCLUSION:[/b] The regime had 92.85% efficacy, acceptability (90%) and few side effects. Thus by using a lower dose and appropriate interval between two doses (six hours), the side effects were lessened with high efficacy.
