The Abortion Pill: What to Know
The abortion pill, also called medication abortion, uses two medicines, mifepristone and misoprostol, instead of surgery to end a pregnancy. The FDA has approved mifepristone for this use through ten weeks of pregnancy.
Abortion laws differ by state, so the abortion pill is not available everywhere. Ask a licensed health care provider what is available where you live.
How to Take the Abortion Pills and What to Expect
Follow the instructions from your health care provider and the Medication Guide that comes with the medicine. This page does not replace medical advice.
- Mifepristone is taken first. Misoprostol is taken later, at the time your provider tells you.
- Cramping and bleeding are expected after taking misoprostol. Ask your provider how to prepare and how to manage pain.
- Ask your provider about a follow-up visit, and when to call for help. The FDA says follow-up is about 7 to 14 days after taking mifepristone.
The FDA has more information about mifepristone. If you are worried about heavy bleeding, severe pain or fever, contact your provider right away or get emergency care.
