How Does the Abortion Pill Work?
Medical abortion, also known as the abortion pill, terminates an existing pregnancy. It consists of two different drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, that come with risks, including:
- Incomplete abortion, which may need to be followed by a surgical procedure
- An ongoing pregnancy if the procedure doesn’t work
- Heavy and prolonged bleeding
- Infection
- Fever
- Digestive system discomfort
An ultrasound is necessary to confirm how far along you are, alert you to any complications, and confirm more pregnancy details before deciding on abortion.
