Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 6
Abstract
Cervical dilatation before suction evacuation is probably the most critical step of the procedure. Various drugs have been used to achieve cervical ripening.This study compares the efficacy and complications of misoprostol and carboprost (125 microgram) in cervical ripening for first trimester abortion. Carboprost 250 micrograms is known to cause good cervical dilation but with severe gastrointestinal side effects .This study shows that low dose carboprost achieves comparable results but with very few sibe effects. When compared to misoprostol cervical dilation was more with less induction to abortion time and less blood loss.
