In April 2009, the WHO announced the addition of misoprostol to its Model List of Essential Medicines for the treatment of incomplete abortion and miscarriage.
Based on current scientific evidence, this guidebook, aimed at clinicians and women's health advocates, offers detailed information about misoprostol for these indications. It includes information on efficacy, safety and acceptability; eligibility criteria and precautions; dosing, timing and routes of administration; visit schedule and management of complications; counselling and information provision; and integration of misoprostol into existing post-abortion care services. There is a brief final chapter on missed abortion.
