Abstract
We conducted a retrospective study to determine the efficacy and safety of self-administration of vaginal misoprostol (following oral mifeprestone) for medical termination of pregnancy. This study revealed that self-administration was accepted by the majority of the patients (90%) and the success rate (98.4%) and duration of hospital stay was not altered significantly compared to our previous year's data, where women were administered vaginal misoprostol by the staff. Based on this study's results, we are of the opinion that this regimen not only demedicalises the problem but also decreases the workload for the medical staff.
