abortion pill

Do not take the abortion pills if you are more than 10 weeks from your last period. The FDA has not approved it for use after 70 days (10 weeks).

Medication abortion involves taking two drugs mifepristone and misoprostol.

Mifepristone is taken first by mouth. It blocks the action of progesterone, a hormone necessary for a successful pregnancy.

Misoprostol is taken 24-48 hours later. It causes the muscles of the uterus to contract and push out the pregnancy.
