A randomised comparison between sublingual, oral and vaginal route of misoprostol for pre‐abortion cervical ripening in first‐trimester pregnancy termination under local anaesthesia

Abstract

Sublingual route was significantly more effective than oral or vaginal administration of misoprostol for cervical dilatation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to simultaneously compare the efficacy of sublingual, oral and vaginal routes of misoprostol for cervical priming before SE.
