Lead Sponsor
Aswan University Hospital
Brief Summary

The primary endpoint was the success rate of adjuvant isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) and misoprostol versus misoprostol alone for medical termination of first-trimester pregnancy.

Detailed Description

According to the American college of obstetricians and gynecologists (2005), medical abortion is an acceptable alternative for surgical procedures in pregnant women with gestational age of less than 10 weeks based on the last menstrual period

Oral or vaginal misoprostol causes complete abortion in almost 85% of cases within seven days before the 12th week

Adjuvant isonicotinic acid hydrazide (INH) administration with misoprostol raises the rate of complete abortion
