Medical Abortion Abortion ( The Abortion Pill )
A medical abortion, sometimes referred to as an abortion pill, is a non-surgical method of ending a pregnancy with prescription medications. Up to 20 weeks into a pregnancy, it is a safe and non-invasive choice.
Is the medication abortion an option for me?
The first nine weeks of pregnancy are the best time to use the abortion pill. Those with ectopic pregnancies, blood clotting issues, chronic adrenal failure, long-term corticosteroid use, intrauterine devices (IUDs), allergies to prescription drugs, or restricted access to emergency care should not use this medication.
What medical procedure involves:
using drugs within a 48-hour period. Hemorrhage, cramps, and other adverse reactions.
Preparation for medical abortion
A consultation and an ultrasound to confirm pregnancy will be part of your medical abortion treatment. After the procedure, expect bleeding and cramps, so set up a comfortable area with heating pads, painkillers, and absorbent pads.
