background: we sought to compare the effectiveness and safety of sublingual versus vaginal misoprostol for the termination of pregnancy with a live full-term fetus. methods: this randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on 200 primiparous women with normal, singleton, full-term pregnancies candidated for the induction of labor. sublingual and vaginal tablets con...

We want to compare the efficacy and safety of vaginal versus sublingual misoprostol for cervical ripening and induction of labor. This randomized clinical trial was performed on 140 women with medical or obstetric indications for labor induction. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: vaginal and sublingual administration of misoprostol. In first group, 25 µg misoprostol was placed...

objective: comparing sublingual and vaginal misoprostol in second trimester pregnancy termination. materials and methods: in this study 268 women at 12-24 weeks of gestation candidate for pregnancy termination were enrolled. women were randomly divided in two groups. the first group received 400 µg sublingual misoprostol and vaginal placebo and the second group received 400 µg vaginal misoprost...

BACKGROUND New indications for misoprostol include medical abortion, cervical softening, induction of labor and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage. Various routes of misoprostol administration under study include oral, vaginal, buccal, sublingual and rectal. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was an open-label, randomized, cross-over study of the pharmacokinetic differences of buccal vs. sublingual m...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of sublingual and vaginal misoprostol in the medical management of missed miscarriage. METHODS Fifty women diagnosed as having missed miscarriage of gestational age less than 20 weeks were assigned randomly to receive 400 microg of either sublingual or vaginal misoprostol every three hours, up to a maximum of five doses. The primary outcome measures were, com...

BACKGROUND Misoprostol is widely used in obstetrics and gynaecology for medical abortion, cervical priming and induction of labour. To aid the design of effective and safe regimens, we have investigated the pharmacokinetic parameters after the vaginal or sublingual administration of repeated doses of 400 microg of misoprostol. METHODS Women undergoing termination of pregnancy by suction evacu...
