Abstract

Oxytocin has been employed to shorten the injection-abortion interval of saline abortions. The purpose of this study was to identity the role of oxytocin in a controlled clinical situation. Oxytocin significantly shortened the time required for abortion. A small, theoretically safer dose proved as effective as a larger dose.
