All selected women received 400 mg of misoprostol 3 hours prior to vacuum aspiration either by sublingual or by vaginal route in the hospital.Results:
For all periods of gestation, sublingual misoprostol significantly improved cervical dilatation. Duration of the procedure and amount of blood loss were comparable in both the groups. Patient acceptability was higher in the sublingual group.Conclusion:
Cervical priming with sublingual misoprostol is effective and convenient route with high patient acceptability rate.
