Can still cytotec abort a 4 month fetus?

Cytotec (misoprostol) should not be used to attempt an abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy (at least 84 days since the first day of the last menstrual period). Research has found that there is a substantially increased risk of heavy and unstoppable bleeding (hemorrhage), uterine rupture, cervical laceration, and infection from using misoprostol to induce an abortion during the second trimester of pregnancy (after 12 weeks). This is not a safe pregnancy termination option.

If you are past 12 weeks pregnant and are considering an abortion, it is important to seek medical advice from a qualified healthcare professional. There are other, safer methods available for terminating a pregnancy at this stage. They include:

- Dilation and evacuation (D&E): This is a surgical procedure that involves dilating the cervix and then using a suction device to remove the contents of the uterus.

- Dilation and curettage (D&C): This is a surgical procedure that involves dilating the cervix and then using a curette (a surgical instrument) to scrape the lining of the uterus.

- Induction of labor: This involves using medication or other methods to induce contractions and deliver the fetus.

Again, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate advice and care if you are past 12 weeks pregnant and are considering an abortion.
