Mifepristone in South Australia -- the first 1343 tablets.

Abstract

Mifepristone has been added to regimens for early and second trimester abortions - both medical and surgical abortions. It has been most commonly used in early medical abortions. In this audit the complication rates of early medical abortion with mifepristone compared favourably to early surgical abortion. There are implications in service delivery of early medical abortion compared to early surgical abortion.
