How does the abortion pill work?

“Abortion pill” is the popular name for using two different medicines to end a pregnancy: mifepristone and misoprostol.

Your doctor or nurse will give you the first pill, mifepristone, at the clinic. Pregnancy needs a hormone called progesterone to grow normally. Mifepristone blocks your body’s own progesterone. You’ll also get some antibiotics.

Your doctor or nurse will tell you how and when to use the second medicine, misoprostol. You’ll take it somewhere between 6-48 hours later, usually at home. This medicine causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus. It’s kind of like having a really heavy, crampy period, and the process is very similar to an early miscarriage.

How effective is the abortion pill?

The abortion pill is very effective. For people who are 8 weeks pregnant or less, it works about 98 out of 100 times. From 8-9 weeks pregnant, it works about 96 out of 100 times. From 9-10 weeks, it works 91-93 out of 100 times.

The abortion pill usually works, but if it doesn’t, you can take more medicine or have an in-clinic abortion to complete the abortion.

When can I take the abortion pill?

You usually can get a medication abortion up to 70 days (10 weeks) after the first day of your last period. If it has been 71 days or more since the first day of your last period, you can have an in-clinic abortion to end your pregnancy.

Why do people choose the abortion pill?

Which kind of abortion you choose all depends on your personal preference and situation. With medication abortion, some people like that you don’t need to have a procedure in a doctor’s office. You can have your medication abortion at home or in another comfortable place that you choose. You get to decide who you want to be with during your abortion, or you can go it alone. Because medication abortion is similar to a miscarriage, many people feel like it’s more “natural” and less invasive.

Your doctor, nurse, or health center staff can help you decide which kind of abortion is best for you.

More questions from patients:

Can the abortion pill be reversed after you have taken it?

Here’s the deal: The “abortion pill” is the popular name for a safe and effective way to end an early pregnancy using a combination of two medicines: mifepristone and misoprostol. The first medicine (mifepristone) is given at a health center or your health care provider’s office. After taking mifepristone, you take a second medication (misoprostol) at home 6-48 hours later. This causes cramping and bleeding and empties your uterus.

Claims about treatments that reverse the effects of medication abortion are out there, and a handful of states require doctors and nurses to tell their patients about them before they can provide abortion care. But these claims haven’t been proven in reliable medical studies — nor have they been tested for safety, effectiveness, or the likelihood of side effects — so experts like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists reject these untested supposed treatments.

Studies on the abortion pill do show that if you take the first medicine but not the second, the abortion pill is less likely to work. So if you’ve begun the process of having an abortion using the abortion pill but are having second thoughts, contact the doctor or nurse you saw for the abortion right away to talk about your best next steps and what to expect.

What is the RU-486 abortion pill?

RU-486 is the former name of mifepristone — one of the medications that you take to have a medication abortion. RU-486 is now called “the abortion pill” or “Mifeprex” (the brand name for mifepristone).

RU-486 was developed in the 1980s. It’s been safely used in Europe since 1987, and in the US since 2000.

RU-486 blocks a hormone that your body needs to continue a pregnancy. It works best when you use it with another medication called misoprostol, which causes bleeding to empty your uterus.

The RU-486 abortion pill is a safe and effective way to end an early pregnancy.

How to do abortion with pills

Abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol

Before starting

Remember this information is useful for abortion with pills in pregnancies that are 10 weeks or less counted from the first day of your menstrual period.

If you are more then 10 weeks pregnant than you need to consult our Doctors via WhatsApp | Email We’ll guide you the best way for abortion at home.

The combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol is very effective (95%)

You will need 1 Tablet of Mifepristone and 4 tablets of Misoprostol.

The Mifepristone pill should be 200 mg (or the equivalent to 200 mg) and each Misoprostol pill should be 200 mcg.

If possible, it is good to have 8 Misoprostol pills total (4 extra) just in case you need them.

If the pills you are getting have different dosages of mg and mcg, you will need to recalculate so you can get and use the correct amount of medication.

How to take Mifepristone and Misoprostol Pills for Abortion?

Step 1: Swallow the Mifepristone Tablet with water empty stomach is preferable.

If you throw up in the first hour (60 minutes) after swallowing Mifepristone, it is likely that the pill will not work. So do not eat anything after taking pill up to 3 – 4 hours.

Step 2: Wait 24-48 hours after swallowing Mifepristone.

You may choose to wait 24 hours, 48 hours, or anywhere inbetween this time frame. There is no difference in regards to the effectivity, so you may choose within that time frame what is most convenient for you.

Step 3: Take 800 mg of Ibuprofen 1 hour before using Misoprostol.

This step is not required, but we highly recommend it. Ibuprofen will reduce the intensity of the cramps and help you manage the possible side effects of Misoprostol such as headache, fever and chills.

Step 4: Place 4 Misoprostol pills under your tongue (sublingual).

It is very important that the pills remain under your tongue for 30 minutes. In these 30 minutes the pills will be absorbing into your system. After 30 minutes you may drink water to wash down what remains of the pills.

If you vomit during the 30 minutes that the Misoprostol pills are under your tongue, it is likely they will not work. In this case, it is necessary to immediately repeat step 4. If you vomit after the pills have been under your tongue for 30 minutes, there is no need to repeat step 4 as the pills have already absorbed into your system.

If 3 hours have passed since you used Misoprostol and you have not had any bleeding or the bleeding has been lighter than your normal period, the best thing to do is use more misoprostol. You do not need to use extra Misoprostol pills if you started bleeding like your period or more within 3 hours after using the first 4 pills.

(Step 5): Place 2 pills of Misoprostol under your tongue. They must remain there for 30 minutes. Wait 3 hours.

(Step 6): If you still have no bleeding or it is very light 3 hours after step 5, you can use 2 more Misoprostol pills the same way you have been using them before.

If 3 hours pass and you still have no bleeding or cramping, contact us. We do not recommend you use more pills until we can evaluate together the situation.

Expected symptoms

After taking Mifepristone, the majority of women do not have any visible symptoms, meaning they do not feel anything. If you happen to bleed after taking Mifepristone, it is still very important that you use Misoprostol in order for the procedure to work.

After using Misoprostol you will experience cramping and bleeding. Some women (not all) will expel blood clots as well. Consider it is not possible to know exactly when the pain and bleeding will start – it could be right after you use Misoprostol or some hours later.

The expected bleeding should be the same amount as your menstrual period or more for several hours. Consider that the abortion takes about 2 weeks to complete itself. This means that you can continue to bleed on and off for various days or even weeks after using the pills.

Remember that each abortion experience is different and the symptoms can vary from woman to woman.

The majority of women who have pregnancy symptoms stop having them approximately 5 days after using Misoprostol. If your pregnancy symptoms start to dissapear and go away after using the pills, this is a good sign that you are no longer pregnant.

Side effects

After using Misoprostol, some women experience side effects that can last for a some hours or a few days. These side effects include:

  • fever
  • diarrhea
  • nausea / vomiting
  • headache
  • chills

Precautions

To avoid hemorrhaging and/or infection, it is important that you take the following precautions until your bleeding completely stops:

  • avoid introducing objects in your vagina, including tampons and the menstrual cup
  • avoid intense physical activity (exercising, carrying, pushing or pulling heavy objects, walking more than normal, or walking up too many flights of stairs)

Warning signs

If you have one of the following symptoms, this is considered a warning sign that you might be experiencing a complication and you should immediately seek medical attention :

  • If you fill two pads or more (completely soaked front to back, side to side) in 1 hour or less and this last for 2 hours or more.
  • A fever of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) that does not decrease after taking Ibuprofen. (If you think you have a fever always confirm with a thermometer.)
  • A fever of 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit) that does not decrease 12 hours after  using Misoprostol. (If you think you have a fever always confirm with a thermometer.)
  • Pain that does not get better after taking Ibuprofen.
  • The color or smell of your blood is very different from your regular period or has a bad smell.
  • If you have redness, itchiness or swollen hands, neck and face it is likely you are having an allergic reaction to the medications. You can use an antihistaminic, but if you find it difficult to breathe then the allergic reaction is very serious and you need medical care immediately.
