Menstrual induction with mifepristone and misoprostol.

Abstract:

:Menstrual induction refers to early uterine evacuation without laboratory confirmation of pregnancy in women with delayed menses. Mechanical aspiration is the method used in many countries but, as suggested by a pilot study, mifepristone followed by a prostaglandin analogue could also be effective. We launched the present study to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of 150 mg of mifepristone, followed 2 days later by 0.4 mg misoprostol vaginally, for menstrual induction among women with a menstrual delay of up to 7 days. The outcome of treatment was uterine evacuation, which could mean menstruation or termination of early pregnancy. A total of 720 women were recruited. The mean delay of menstruation at recruitment was 4.9 (SD = 1.7) days. Retrospective analysis of human chorionic gonadotropin from serum samples taken at admission showed that 492 (68.3%) women were pregnant at admission, and 228 (31.7%) women had delayed menstruation without pregnancy. One nonpregnant woman was lost to follow-up. Bleeding was induced in 479 (97.4%) pregnant women and in 222 (97.8%) nonpregnant women. Among the pregnant women, 455 (92.5%) had complete abortion, 12 (2.4%) had incomplete abortion and pregnancy continued in 25 (5.1%) women, including one ectopic pregnancy. Side effects were mild and uncommon. We conclude that 95.8% of the women treated had the expected outcome. Further research is needed to compare the efficacy, safety and acceptability of the medical regimen to vacuum aspiration. A rather high continuing pregnancy rate in this study is a concern.
