[Comment] Retraction and republication —Misoprostol drug to be withdrawn from French market

On Oct 28, 2017, The Lancet published the World Report “Misoprostol drug to be withdrawn from French market” as an epage.1 After further information was provided to us, The Lancet Editors have decided to retract this World Report, and republish it having removed the information that we believe to be inaccurate.2 The old version of the World Report w ill be added to a webappendix attached to the new version and will be marked as retracted. Additionally, the following sentence should have read: “One issue is that the 200 μg Cytotec tablets have to be split into eight identical sections to obtain the 25 μg dose for labour induction, which mean s ‘there is a risk of overdose’, says Martin”.
