The authors wish to issue a correction regarding the manuscript “Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study on the effect of misoprostol on ease of consecutive insertion of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system” published in Contraception 81.6 (2010):481-6. We discovered errors in Table 1 that may cause confusion for readers. These errors do not change the accuracy of the results reported in the text, or any conclusions. The text in two lines have by mistake switched places. Relevant changes have been made to the table below, with corrections marked in bold text.
