The combination of RU486 (mifepristone) and prostaglandin analogues has been used for medical abortion in several European centres. We surveyed 41 Australian women who successfully used this method of abortion in a World Health Organization‐sponsored trial. Overall, the women were satisfied with the method and found the associated pain level acceptable.
