To compare the various parameters involved in MTP in both the methods and assess the most suitable method for first trimester MTP. METHODS An interventional prospective study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Government Thoothukudi Medical College, Thoothukudi, during 2013-2015. During this study, 125 patients who attended the family planning clinic requesting first trimester termination of pregnancy were selected based on the inclusion, exclusion criteria. Out of 125 patients, 100 were randomly assigned to vaginal misoprostol group and 25 to mifepristone with misoprostol group. The study was approved by the hospital ethical committee. RESULTS On analysing both the methods had less induction abortion interval, but 93% of abortions occurred within 4 hours of administration in mifepristone and vaginal misoprostol.
