This study compares the success rate of letrozole and misoprostol versus misoprostol alone for medical termination of first-trimester pregnancy.

According to the American college of obstetricians and gynecologists (2005), medical abortion is an acceptable alternative for surgical procedures in pregnant women with gestational age of less than 49 days based on the last menstrual period

Oral or vaginal misoprostol causes complete abortion in almost 85% of cases within seven days before the 12th week

letrozole administration with misoprostol raises the rate of complete abortion
