Summary

This study examines the safety and acceptability of a novel "two dose" regimen of methotrexate to treat ectopic pregnancy.

Detailed description

The regimen is an attempt to create a middle ground between the 2 commonly used regimens - "single dose" and "multi dose". The "multi dose" regimen is more effective, but the "single dose" regimen is more convenient for patients and has fewer side effects.
