Comparison between 24 and 48 Hours Interval between Mifepristone and Misoprostol for Induction of Abortion

Provision of safe abortion to the full extent of the law is an important component of reproductive health services. The development of methods of inducing abortion by medical means has created alternative options to make abortion available to women in health-care settings. Ideally, any method of medical abortion should have an overall efficacy comparable to that of surgical method, i.e. a rate of complete abortion of more than 95% and an ongoing pregnancy rate of less than 1%. The combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is now a well-established method for medical abortion in many countries. It has been shown by various studies to be a safe and effective method for the termination of pregnancy.
