Abstract

Objective: The object of this trial was to appreciate the acceptability of Misoprostol home use in medical abortion.

Patients and method: From 1 January 2001 to 28 February 2002, 120 voluntary patients were included in the study of medical voluntary pregnancy interruption with Misoprostol at home, and 289 patients were using the protocol "Misoprostol at hospital".

Results: The method was well tolerated by all patients.

Discussion and conclusion: The protocol "Misoprostol at home" is accepted under certain conditions: strict criteria selection, strict rules of security, good counseling of patients, and finally the availability at the telephone of the gynecologist to respond to any eventuality.
