@entity1 @entity3927 @entity396 @entity390
OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness, side effects, and @entity1 satisfaction of buccal versus vaginal @entity396 administration in first and second trimester induced abortions. METHODS: In first trimester, @entity1 received oral @entity3927 followed by @entity396 either by buccal or vaginal route. In second trimester, @entity1 received oral @entity3927 followed by repeated doses of @entity396 either by buccal or vaginal route. A comparative analysis using SPSS was done. RESULTS: In first trimester, success rate of medical abortion was 96  % in buccal group and 88  % in vaginal group. @entity390 was the most common adverse effect which was similar in both groups. In second trimester, success rate was 96  % in buccal group and 80  % in vaginal group. A statistically higher incidence of @entity390 was noticed in buccal group. @entity1 satisfaction level was almost similar in both the groups in both trimesters. CONCLUSIONS: Buccal and vaginal routes of @entity396 administration have similar efficacy and @entity1 satisfaction level for first and second trimester induced abortions. Hence, buccal route may serve as an alternative to vaginal @entity396 .
