2004 MAR 4 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Mifepristone could be combined with other drugs for menstrual induction.

According to recent research published in the journal Contraception, "menstrual induction is a variant of suction aspiration that was originally defined to be performed in women with a menstrual delay of up to 2-3 weeks without knowing if the women is pregnant or not. Prerequisites for a pharmacological method for menstrual induction are a high efficacy to induce a bleeding in nonpregnant women and an expulsion of the pregnancy in pregnant women. Treatment with prostaglandins, specifically intramuscular sulprostone, can be as effective as suction aspiration for menstrual induction."

"However, the administration of prostaglandin in therapeutically effective doses was associated with a high frequency of gastrointestinal side effects and, to a lesser extent, of strong abdominal pain, which limited their routine use," explained M. Bygdeman and colleagues, Karolinska Hospital, Department of Woman & Child Health.
