It was done on 100 antenatal pregnant women who attended A.N. OPD / ward in Government General Hospital, Guntur seeking second trimester MTP for various reasons. Materials and methods: Group A (50 cases) cerviprime gel was instilled intracervically followed by oxytocin drip 12hrs later if no contractions , Group B (50 cases) intravaginal misoprostol 200µg kept P/V every 6 hourly. Results: The mean induction-abortion interval noted was 23.77 hours in (group A), 16.54 hours in (group B). Complications like vomiting, diarrhea, fever, infection, uterine pain, retained placenta were slightly more in group A when compared to group B. Failures - group A- 9 cases were failed to abort while in group B- 3 cases. Group A- 6 cases were aborted with Tab. Misoprostol 200µg every 6 hours for 2 doses and 3 cases reinstallation of cerviprime gel.
