The article describes the specific features of termination of progressive uterine pregnancy in the II trimester. It was found that the efficacy of medical abortion in the II trimester of pregnancy is 94–98%. High efficacy, low incidence of side effects or early and late complications and economic feasibility demonstrate that the method is promising and safe; therefore, it can be recommended as a priority when choosing a method for medical termination of pregnancy in the II trimester.
