Misoprostol has been shown to be an effective alternative to surgical evacuation in incomplete abortion and can be offered by lower level clinicians. Objective: To identify the success rate of sublingual Misoprostol 400 mcg regimen in the treatment of incomplete abortion under 12 weeks gestation at Nhan dan Gia Đinh Hospital. Methods: The study reported on 177 case of incomplete abortion (under 12 weeks), conducted between June 2020 and January 2021 at Nhan dan Gia Đinh Hospital. Results: The rate of success rate of sublingual Misoprostol 400 mcg regimen in the treatment of incomplete abortion under 12 weeks gestation accounts for 90.96% (95% CI: 90.40-91.52). The bleeding time less than 14 days is more likely to be successful than bleeding time lasting more than 14 days with OR 52.63 95% (CI 9.09 – 333.33). The mean bleeding time is 9.5 ± 4.6 days, with low bleeding 35%, medium 49.2% and more 15.8%. The degree of abdominal pain is no pain 13.6%, less pain 40.7%, moderate pain 37.3% and a lot of pain 7.9%, with the rate of pain reliever 65.5%.. The most common adverse effects are nausea 28.8%, vomiting 5.1%, diarrhea 18.1%, chills 6.8%, allergies 1.1%.
