  • The pill you will take at the clinic (Day 1) is called mifepristone
  • The pill you will take at home (Day 2 or 3) are called misoprostol

— You will bleed and have cramps after you take the misoprostol pills at home. So you’ll want to plan ahead before you take them:

  • Plan to have someone you trust on hand to help you out.
  • Buy maxi pads, pain medicine, food, and anything else you will need to make yourself relaxed.
  • Have books or videos to help you pass the time.

Day 2 or 3 — Take the misprostol pills?

  • Take the anti-nausea pills, if we gave them to you, and pain pills to prevent cramps. You can use ibuprofen (Motrin). Follow the directions on the bottle. Do not take aspirin, because it will make you bleed more.
  • Wait 30 minutes.
  • Take the 4 misoprostol pills. Put 2 pills on one side of your mouth, and the other 2 on the other side of your mouth. Wait 3 minutes for the pill to dissolve. After 30 minutes, swallow what is left of the pills
