[RU 486 and induction of labor in 3d trimester pregnancy interruptions. Preliminary clinical studies].
The authors report 12 cases of induction of labour which was carried out with the help of RU 486 in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy (mean duration of the pregnancy 34.2 weeks). Nine cases had malformed fetuses and 3 cases had normal infants. In 6 cases out of the 12 delivery took place within 48 hours after RU had been administered by itself and in 3 cases induction with Syntocinon was helped when RU was given beforehand. In 3 cases the live-born children showed no secondary ill effects.
