Research Summary: Gynuity Health Projects Evaluates a Letrozole Plus Misoprostol Regimen for Medication Abortion

A summary, available in English and Spanish, of the key findings from a small pilot study by Gynuity Health Projects and the University of Utah exploring the efficacy and safety of regimen involving a single dose of letrozole plus misoprostol for medication abortion.

Letrozole is traditionally used for treating breast cancer and infertility. It has been identified as a potential alternative abortifacient that, in the absence of mifepristone and when taken in combination with misoprostol, could improve upon the efficacy of a misoprostol-only medication abortion regimen.
