Abstract

We report our experience of 0.1% intraamniotic Rivanol in the interruption of 100 midtrimester pregnancies (15-24 gestation weeks). The mean injection to abortion interval was 37.2h and there were no complications. Intraamniotic Rivanol injection combined with oxytocin infusion seemed an effective and safe method for terminating second trimester pregnancies.
