  2. The medical abortion, i.e. the abortion pill is also known as early abortion(are within 10 weeks of gestation), involves two types of pills taken to end pregnancy. • It is an alternative to surgical procedure. • Many women choose to buy abortion pills because they feel the procedure to be more natural than the surgery, as it doesn’t require anything invasive tools or anesthesia.

  3. What does medical abortion involve? The medical pregnancy termination involves two different drugs called Mifepristone(taken on the first day) and Misoprostol pills(taken after 24-48 hours).

  4. The Mifepristone medication is an anti-progesterone agent. It is responsible for stopping the hormone progesterone which is responsible for keeping the uterine lining that supports the embryo, intact. With this hormone blocked, the uterine lining is broken down and the embryo is separated. Mifepristone also causes the cervix to be softened and widened, therefore it makes it easier for the detached pregnancy parts to be expelled. Meanwhile Misoprostol pills are ecbolic in nature. They are prostaglandin analogue. After entering into the system, they cause contractions in the uterus, which in turn assists in removing all detached conception parts from the uterus.

  5. How should the Medical abortion be carried out? The medical abortive procedure is carried out by following the below steps – • Swallow 1 tablet of Mifepristone [ 200 mg] • Take a 24-48 hours’ interval • After break, put 4 pills of Misoprostol, 2x2 in each cheek pouches and wait for 30 minutes for them to be dissolved. After they dissolve naturally for 1/ 2 hr, you can swallow the pills’ residue with water. The Misoprostol pills are chalky in taste; therefore, they can be kept in the cheek pouches for a long amount of time.

  6. What will happen after abortion with pills? Bleeding and abdominal cramps are a given after you have taken abortion pills. Since the procedure requires abdominal cramps and vaginal bleeding for the pregnancy parts to be expelled, these two effects are intended cannot be avoided.

  7. However, other side effects such as nausea/ vomiting, headache, fever, weakness, diarrhea etc may or may not happen, as it depends on the individuals’ reaction to the abortion pills. If you buy abortion pill pack online, you get side effects management pills with the abortion pills themselves. • While most women start bleeding 4-5 hours after taking the Misoprostol pills, others may have a slightly delayed reaction, which is just as fine. There are others, who take more than 6 hours for the procedure to start. Ifit is taking too long, you will have to take 2 more Misoprostol pills in the same manner to start up the abortive procedure.

  8. Can I get abortion pills online? Many women worldwide are bereft of their reproductive right due to lack of access to abortive care services.
