Early pregnancy loss (EPL), also known as miscarriage or spontaneous abortion, makes up 15-20% of all clinically recognized pregnancies. EPL is a broad term that includes intrauterine pregnancies (IUPs) with findings that suggest the pregnancy may not progress or definitely will not progress; pregnancies with a gestational sac (GS) in the lower endometrial cavity or endocervical canal in the process of expulsion; residual pregnancy tissue or persistent GS; and complete passage of the GS without residual tissue.

Methods: The article reviews drugs that have been evaluated over the last decades in vitro, in vivo and/or in clinical settings with regard to their properties to achieve spontaneous passage of (distal) ureteral stones and relieve colic pain.
