{Abstract}: Medical termination of pregnancy, also known as medication abortion, is a safe and effective method of terminating pregnancies in the early stages. It involves using medications, such as mifepristone and prostaglandin, to induce a miscarriage. The success rates of medical abortion vary depending on factors such as gestational age and the specific medications used. For pregnancies that are 49 days or less, the success rates range from 92% to 98%. The choice between misoprostol and gemeprost, both prostaglandins, does not significantly impact the outcomes. It is important to note that various factors, including study design, definitions of success, and prior experience with medical abortion may influence success rates. Strict criteria for success and limited familiarity with the procedure may result in lower reported success rates. Medical termination of pregnancy should be carried out under the guidance and supervision of healthcare professionals. It is crucial to consult a healthcare provider to receive accurate information, personalized guidance, and appropriate support throughout the process. Each situation is unique, and decisions regarding medical termination of pregnancy should be made in collaboration with a trusted healthcare provider.
