All women followed up on day 14 of tab. Mifepristone for abortion confirmed by usg. Results: Efficacy of regimen was 100% in gestational age up to 49 days and 95.45 % in gestational age of 50-63 days. The overall success rate was 97.5%. most of the women were ready to choose same method in future if required.
