title: [Medical treatment for recurrent miscarriages].
abstract: Effective proven therapies for recurrent abortions are few. Aspirin, prednisone and heparin are most commonly utilized but are not clearly proven to outperform expectant management except in case of antiphospholipid syndrome. Progesterone supplementation is unproven in effectiveness but of low risk. Therapeutic intervention should be strongly guided by the principle of doing no harm to the patient.
