AT-HOME ABORTION PILL
Before Taking The Abortion Pill
Prior to taking the abortion pills, it is vital that you see a medical provider, in person, during a private appointment. A medical provider can prevent or diagnose complications before taking the abortion pill.(1),(2)
Medication abortion (also called the abortion pill) is FDA approved for up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant) after the start of your last menstrual period.(3)
- The “pill” is actually a protocol that involves taking two drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, which are taken in two separate doses on different days.
- The FDA strongly cautions against the use of mifepristone obtained over the Internet.(4)
- The abortion pills are different from emergency contraception, sometimes called the “morning-after pill”.
