All You Need To Know About Abortion Drug

 


Medication abortion, also known as the abortion drug, is a safe and effective method of terminating an early pregnancy. The term "abortion drug" refers to the use of two different medications to end a pregnancy: mifepristone and misoprostol.

To begin, you take a drug/pill known as mifepristone. To grow normally during pregnancy, a hormone called progesterone is required. Mifepristone inhibits the production of progesterone in your body, preventing the pregnancy from progressing. The second medication, misoprostol, is then administered either immediately or up to 48 hours later. To empty your uterus, this medication causes cramping and bleeding. It feels like you're having a really heavy, crampy period, and the process is similar to an early miscarriage. If you do not experience any bleeding within 24 hours of taking the second medication, contact your nurse or doctor. At the health center, your doctor or nurse will administer both medications to you. When and where you take them is determined by state laws and the policies of your health center. Your doctor or nurse will give you specific instructions on where, when, and how to take your medications. Antibiotics may also be prescribed to prevent infection.

What is the effectiveness of the abortion drug/pill?

The abortion drug has a high success rate. The effectiveness of the medication is determined by how far along you are in your pregnancy at the time you take it.

 

  • It works about 94-98 out of 100 times for women who are 8 weeks or less pregnant. 
  • It works about 94-96 out of 100 times for women who are 8-9 weeks pregnant.
  • It works about 91-93 times out of 100 for women who are 9-10 weeks pregnant. If you are given an extra dose of medicine, it will work 99 times out of 100.

  • It works about 87 out of 100 times for women who are 10-11 weeks pregnant. If you are given an extra dose of medicine, it will work about 98 percent of the time.
  • If the abortion pill does not work, you can take more medication or have an in-clinic abortion to complete the abortion.

When am I allowed to take the abortion drug?

You may be able to get a medication abortion up to 77 days (11 weeks) after the first day of your last period, depending on where you live. You can have an in-clinic abortion if it has been 78 days or more since the first day of your last period.

Why do people opt for abortion drugs/pills?

Which type of abortion you choose is entirely dependent on your personal preferences and circumstances. Some people prefer medication abortion because it does not require a procedure in a doctor's office. You can have your medication abortion at home or any other location that is convenient for you.

You have the option of choosing who you want to be with during your abortion or going it alone. Because medication abortion is comparable to miscarriage, many people believe it is more "natural" and less invasive.

Your doctor, nurse or health center staff can advise you on the best type of abortion for you.
