A quick medline search showed most uses for ectopic where combo methotrexate and mifopristone, there was one french study and two brave chinese studies using mifopristone only. A check of the contraindications includes suspected ectopoic pregency, I hate when they do that.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
