Aim of the work:The aim of the study is to evaluate sublingual misoprostol 200µg on the cervix one hour before IUD insertion; to facilitate IUD insertion in women with tight cervix or in whom did not deliver vaginally. Patients and Methods:The study was a double blinded randomized controlled trial, compared sublingual 200µg misoprostol with placebo. The study included 260 cases attended the Gynecology Clinic [Al-Azhar University Hospital] from December 2018 to November 2019. All females signed an informed written consent, and then have been randomly divided into 2 groups using a closed envelope technique. Every female had been asked to take the drug sublingually then return after one hour to insert her IUD. Group A included 130 females who used sublingual misoprostol 200µg [Misotac] and group B included 130 females who took a placebo one hour before IUD insertion [Control group]. Results: IUD and uterine sound insertion was unsuccessful in 8.5% of group A versus 13.8% in group B while it was successful in 91.5% of group A versus 86.2% in Group B. Among the successful cases, 88[73.9] were easy in group A versus 77[68.8] in group B. On the other hand, 31[26.1%] and 35[31.2%] were difficult in group A and B respectively.
