Prospective, randomized controlled trial. Two groups of pregnant women each 17 cases with a history of recurrent abortion or premature labor due to antiphospholipid syndrome were randomized to a control group treated once daily with oral low dose aspirin 81 mg plus subcutaneous low molecular weight heparin 40 mg, and a study group treated once daily with low dose aspirin 81 mg plus isosorbid mononitrate 20 mg tablet applied vaginally. Treatment started once pregnancy was confirmed by B-hCG and ultrasound examination and continued until the end of pregnancy.
