Medical Abortion Pills: Telemedicine Abortion Pills Option
Medical abortion, also known as medication abortion or early termination of pregnancy, typically involves taking two types of medication. The first medication, mifepristone, works to block the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for pregnancy to continue. This causes the lining of the uterus to break down, effectively ending the pregnancy. The second medication, misoprostol, is taken a day or two later and helps to expel the contents of the uterus, similar to a miscarriage.
Why should I consider a medical abortion?
Choosing a medical abortion is a deeply personal decision that many women find preferable to surgery. It offers privacy, can be done early in pregnancy, and is safe, with a success rate of around 98%. Unlike surgery, it doesn’t require extensive preparation or transportation arrangements. You can complete the process at home, with the option to have someone with you for support. Despite being at home, you’re still under our care, and assistance is always available.

Tips for taking the abortion pill at home
Here are six simple tips to remember:
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Your healthcare provider is there to answer questions you have. Whether it’s about how to take the pills, what to expect, or when to follow up with them, ask away.
Start your abortion pills as soon as you can. Abortions pills can only be used during the first 10 weeks of a pregnancy. The further you are into a pregnancy, the less effective they become.
Take the medications at the right times. It’s important to take the mifepristone first, followed by misoprostol 24 to 48 hours later. Taking them in this way helps them to be most effective.
Know what side effects to expect. Cramping and vaginal bleeding are expected after taking the abortion pills. Nausea, weakness, and chills are also typical during the first 24 hours after taking your misoprostol dose.
Follow up with your healthcare provider on time. You’ll be asked to check in with your provider 7 to 14 days after taking abortion pills. They’ll want to make sure you’re no longer pregnant and that you’re not having complications.
Know when to get help. Sometimes things don’t go according to plan. If you haven’t experienced any bleeding after taking the misoprostol, contact your healthcare provider. You should also seek help if you’re having heavy bleeding or abdominal cramping that doesn’t let up, or if you’re passing large clots for more than 2 hours. If you have a fever that lasts more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol or smelly vaginal discharge, that could be a sign of an infection. And, don’t underestimate the emotional impact of an abortion: if your emotions are getting in the way of your recovery, ask for help.
The bottom line
A medication abortion is a safe and effective method for stopping a pregnancy up to 10 weeks after your last menstrual period. The abortion pill is two prescription medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, taken 1 to 2 days apart.
