Background: Unsafe and illegal abortions are one of the major problems in women health in India. Despite legal approval for medical termination of pregnancy in 1971, unsafe abortion still remains the third leading cause of maternal deaths in the country, contributes eight percent of such deaths annually. The objective of this study was to study efficacy of Mifepristone 200 mg orally followed 36-48 hours later by Misoprostol 800 microgms per vaginally in women undergoing medical termination of early pregnancy (up to 63 days of gestational age).Methods: The present study included 60 pregnant women requesting termination of pregnancy in the first trimester. Women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Women without medical or surgical contraindications to Mifepristone and Misoprostol were included. Patients with previous caesarean sections were also included.Results: In our study 60 women were included, majority were in age group 20-29 years of age and majority of cases were primipara or multipara. The success rate in terms of complete abortion was 97%, 2% needed surgical evacuation and 1% lost to follow up. Side effects were nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, pyrexia etc. The method proved to be safe, effective, cheap, non-invasive and has minimal or no complications.Conclusions: Medical termination of pregnancy with oral mifepristone and vaginal misoprostol is an effective method for first trimester abortion. The prerequisite for the method is patient counselling, patient participation and willingness for regular follow up and to report any complication. Hence this method comes out to be a safe alternative to surgical method which is invasive and costly.

Background: Combined mifepristone and misoprostol is the best method of medical termination of pregnancy. The study is undertaken to find out the success rate, acceptability, efficacy and patient satisfaction of medical abortion in pregnant women with 49 days of gestation. Methods: The pregnant women with amenorrhea of 49 days or less seeking termination of pregnancy received were studied. The 200 mg of oral mifepristone and followed 48 hours later with 600 microgram of oral misoprostol were given. Results: The success rate with the regime was 47 (94%) and 49 (98%) were satisfied. Weakness 24 (48%), Nausea 10 (20%), diarrhea 12 (25%), needing analgesic 4 (8%) were the side effects of the combined regime. Conclusions: Medical termination of pregnancy with combination of mifepristone and oral misoprostol has a good success rate. The side effect of the regimen in our setup is less and well accepted. Majority of the patient are satisfied with medical termination of pregnancy.

BackgroundAttendance at post-abortion follow-up visits is poor, but little is known about factors affecting it.ObjectiveTo assess the factors associated with non-compliance with post-abortion services and to evaluate differences in rates of attendance and intrauterine device (IUD) insertion according to the type of service provision.Methods605 women undergoing a first trimester medical termination of pregnancy (MTOP) and planning to use intrauterine contraception were randomised into two groups. Women in the intervention group (n=306) were booked to have IUD insertion 1–4 weeks after the MTOP at the hospital providing the abortion, while women in the control group (n=299) were advised to contact their primary healthcare (PHC) centre for follow-up and IUD insertion.ResultsIn the intervention group, 21 (6.9%) women failed to attend the follow-up visit, whereas in the control group 67 (22.4%) women did not contact the PHC to schedule a follow-up (p<0.001). In both groups, non-attendance was associated with history of previous pregnancy and abortion. Not having an IUD inserted within 3 months was significantly more common in the control group (73.6% (n=220)) than in the intervention group (9.2% (n=28), p<0.001). In the intervention group, predictive factors for not having an IUD inserted were anxiety, history of pregnancy and abortion. However, we identified no significant predictive factors in the control group.ConclusionsFactors predicting low compliance with post-MTOP follow-up are few. Comprehensive provision of abortion care and post-abortion services seems beneficial for minimising the loss to follow-up and delay in initiation of effective contraception.Trial registration numberNCT01223521; Results.
