What is the abortion pill?

The abortion pill, also known as medication abortion or the abortion pill regimen, is a non-surgical method used to terminate an early pregnancy. It involves using two medications, mifepristone, and misoprostol, taken sequentially. Mifepristone is taken first to block the hormone progesterone, which is essential for a pregnancy to grow. It leads to the thinning of the uterine lining and prevents the embryo from receiving nutrients, causing the pregnancy to end. Within 24 to 48 hours, misoprostol is taken to induce contractions and expel the pregnancy from the uterus. You will experience cramps and bleeding while taking misoprostol to empty your uterus. Like an early miscarriage, it feels like a heavy, crampy period.

How much time do I have to decide whether to take the abortion pill?

The abortion pill is most effective for the first 11 weeks of pregnancy. However, it's good to seek information and make a decision as early as possible.

Is the abortion pill safe?

Yes, abortion pills are safe. These have been used in the US for more than 20 years. Like any medical procedure, the abortion pill has potential risks and side effects. Possible side effects include heavy bleeding, cramping, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. However, serious complications are rare, occurring in less than 0.4% of cases.

How effective is the abortion pill?

Abortion pills are highly effective. About 98% of clients have successfully used these online abortion pills.

What is the RU-486 abortion pill?

RU-486 is the former name of mifepristone — one of the medications you take for a medication abortion. RU-486 is now called "the abortion pill" or "Mifeprex" (the brand name for mifepristone). In the 1980s, it was developed. Since 1987, it has been used safely in Europe and since 2000 in the US.

Can you eat or drink alcohol after taking the abortion pills?

You can eat food as you normally would after taking the abortion pill (except during the time you have the misoprostol pills in your mouth). However, as some women experience nausea from the misoprostol, you may want to eat lightly.
It is not advisable to drink alcohol or take any recreational drugs during this process.

Are there any side effects of medical abortion pills?

Medical abortion normally causes side effects such as pain and cramping, as well as bleeding accompanied by the passage of blood clots and tissue. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and hot flashes or fever may also occur. Misoprostol side effects: A fever that starts soon after misoprostol administration and lasts less than 24 hours and is less than 100.4 F is a common side effect. If the fever lasts longer than 24 hours or is higher than 102.2 F, you should seek medical attention. An allergic reaction to the medication can cause hives (itchy welts or bumps on the skin).

How do you know if you have abortion complications?

If performed in the before 12 weeks, a medical abortion carries a very small risk of complications. This risk is the same as when a woman has a miscarriage.
What are the possible abortion pill complications and what should you do?
These are the possible complications, their symptoms and treatment:

Heavy bleeding (occurs in less than 1% of medical abortions):
Symptom: Bleeding that lasts for more than 2 hours and soaks more than 2 maxi sanitary pads per hour. Feeling dizzy or light-headed can be a sign of too much blood loss. This is dangerous to your health and must be treated by a doctor.

Treatment: a vacuum aspiration (curettage.) When available, a woman should start taking 2 misoprostol under the tongue immediately at home before going to the hospital. Very rarely (less than 0.2%) a blood transfusion is needed.

Incomplete abortion:
Symptoms: heavy or persistent bleeding and/or persistent severe pain.

Treatment: If you experience symptoms of an incomplete abortion, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention. Your healthcare provider may recommend two treatment options:

Additional Misoprostol: Your healthcare provider may advise taking 2 tablets of Misoprostol under the tongue to help complete the abortion process. This medication helps expel any remaining tissue from the uterus.

Vacuum Aspiration (Curettage): In some cases, a vacuum aspiration procedure may be necessary to remove any remaining tissue from the uterus. This procedure is typically performed by a healthcare professional in a medical setting.

Infection:
Symptom: If you have a fever (more than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) for more than 24 hours, or you have a fever of more than 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit, there might be an infection that needs treatment.

Treatment: antibiotics and/or vacuum aspiration. If you think you might have a complication you should go to a doctor immediately.

You do not have to tell the medical staff that you tried to induce an abortion; you can tell them that you had a spontaneous miscarriage.
