    Author: Olsen CD, Wittendorff HE, Jørgensen JJ.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2000 Mar 20; 162(12):1742-4. PubMed ID: 10766656.
    Abstract:
    Medical termination of early pregnancy with mifepristone (RU 486) followed by a prostaglandin analogue (Cervagem) is a fairly new abortion method in surgical and gynaecological departments in Denmark. Sixty-two patients were evaluated during the period December 1, 1997 to the June 10, 1998 at Kalundborg hospital. The success rate was 97%. Side effects were rare. The study illustrates the need for strong analgesics in half of the patients. In conclusion RU 486 followed by a prostaglandin analogue provides an efficient and attractive alternative to surgical abortion methods.
