Clinical outcome, time taken for expulsion, number of doses required, mean duration of hospital stay, mean analgesic requirement, mean blood loss and side effects were compared between the two groups. It was concluded that vaginal administration of Misoprostol is a safe, effective and cheap alternative to surgical evacuation.
