First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding letrozole to misoprostol helps end a nonviable pregnancy in the first trimester more effectively than misoprostol alone. 400 women with missed miscarriage took part. Researchers measured bleeding, time to complete abortion, and side effects.
