Before Abortion
The Abortion Decision
Deciding to end a pregnancy is a personal and often emotional choice. Having access to accurate medical information and reliable support can help you make a confident and informed decision.
What Is Medical Abortion?
Medical abortion (also known as medication or elective abortion) is a non-surgical method used to end an early pregnancy—typically up to 10 weeks (70 days). It works by using prescribed medications to stop the pregnancy from progressing and to help the uterus naturally expel pregnancy tissue through the vagina.
Is Medical Abortion Safe?
Yes. Medical abortion is highly safe and effective when:
-
All contraindications are properly evaluated
-
The correct dosage and timing are followed
-
Medical guidance is respected
When used appropriately, medical abortion has a very high success rate.
Is Medical Abortion Right for Me?
Medical abortion may be suitable if:
-
You are within 70 days of your last menstrual period
-
The pregnancy is not ectopic (not outside the uterus)
-
You have not undergone multiple previous abortions
-
You are not allergic to abortion medications
-
You do not have serious chronic medical conditions
-
You are not currently breastfeeding
-
You do not regularly consume alcohol or tobacco
A healthcare professional should always confirm eligibility before use.
Which Is the Best Abortion Pill for Me?
Medical abortion uses two primary medications:
Mifepristone
-
Generic RU-486
-
Mifeprex
Misoprostol
-
Cytolog
These medications may be provided as:
-

During Abortion
How Do the Pills Work?
-
First pill (Mifepristone): Blocks progesterone, causing the uterine lining to thin and detach the implanted embryo
-
Second pill (Misoprostol): Stimulates uterine contractions and softens the cervix to help expel pregnancy tissue
How Do I Use the Pills?
-
Day 1: Take 200 mg of Mifepristone orally with water
-
After 24–48 hours: Take 800 mcg of Misoprostol (4 tablets) either orally (buccal/sublingual) or vaginally
Always follow medical instructions carefully.
What Can I Expect During a Medical Abortion?
Bleeding and cramping are expected. Other common side effects include:
-
Nausea or vomiting
-
Fatigue or headaches
-
Diarrhea
-
Fever with or without chills
These symptoms usually peak within the first 24 hours after taking Misoprostol.
How Do I Know If I Have a Complication?
Severe or unmanageable symptoms—such as excessive bleeding, intense pain, or prolonged fever—may indicate a complication and require medical attention.
Can I Take Other Medicines During Abortion?
Some medications may interfere with abortion pills. Always share your full medical history with your healthcare provider so they can advise you safely.

-
Rest and stay hydrated
