Can you take medical pill to abort a 9 weeks pregnancy?

The abortion pill, also known as medication abortion or medical abortion, is a safe and effective method of terminating a pregnancy up to 9 weeks (63 days) from the first day of your last period. The abortion pill is a combination of two medications: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone, which is needed for a pregnancy to continue. Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and empty.

The abortion pill is taken in two stages. First, you will take the mifepristone pill at a clinic or doctor's office. You can then leave the clinic and go about your normal activities. Second, you will take the misoprostol pills 24 to 48 hours later. You can take the misoprostol pills at home or wherever you feel comfortable.

The abortion pill is very effective. It is 95% effective at ending a pregnancy up to 9 weeks from the first day of your last period. The abortion pill is also very safe. Serious side effects are rare, but may include heavy bleeding, fever, and chills.

If you are considering the abortion pill, it is important to talk to your doctor or nurse to make sure it is the right option for you.
