title: [Mifepristone and misoprostol in therapeutic abortions].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report our experience with the mifepristone and misoprostol combination in second and third trimester medically induced abortion.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prospective study without control group between January 1993 and december 1994.
  
  
  METHODS
  Saint-Antoine Hospital, Paris.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty-three patients admitted for a medically induced abortion.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Induction-to-abortion mean time was 12.9 +/- 7.5 hours (time distinctly decreased in fetal death: 8.3 +/- 4.4 hours).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The combination of misoprostol with mifepristone has equivalent with the other protocol used for therapeutic pregnancy termination, is less expensive (25 to 100 times) and finally is simple and non-invasive.
