A simple change in the technique used to deliver the abortion pill reduced the number of serious infections attributed to the drug by more than half, and dropped infection rates to nearly zero when antibiotics were introduced, according to a study released today.
Since March 2006, Planned Parenthood has had women take the second drug by placing it in their mouth, between their cheek and gums, and letting it dissolve. Some researchers say that method retains the effectiveness of the drug, and according to the latest study, it significantly cuts the rate of infection.
"Just changing the route of the misoprostol, which costs nothing, had an effect. And it's certainly no less convenient for women," said Dr. Paul Blumenthal, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford University School of Medicine and director of Stanford's Center for Contraceptive Health and Research.
