Ectopic pregnancy is a common cause of acute abdomen in obstetrics and gynecology and has a high mortality rate. Treatment of ectopic pregnancy includes surgery, medication and expectant treatment. Among the pharmacologic treatments methotrexate is currently the main drug used in the conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy, and its efficacy is exact.
