Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study is designed to address the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the local and systemic immunomodulatory effects of buccally or vaginally administered misoprostol in healthy, reproductive-age women.
