Medical Abortion using Mifepristone and Misoprostol is recognized by the WHO as safe and effective for early pregnancy termination.
How the medication works
Mifepristone blocks progesterone, a hormone needed to sustain the pregnancy. 24–48 hours later, Misoprostol causes the uterus to contract and expel tissue.
Effectiveness
Following the recommended regimen under medical guidance, success rates exceed 95% for pregnancies under 10 weeks.
Common side effects
- Bleeding and clots (similar to a heavy period)
- Cramping abdominal pain
- Nausea, fatigue, low-grade fever for a short period
When to seek urgent care
Go to a hospital immediately if bleeding soaks more than 2 large pads per hour, fever persists over 24 hours, or severe abdominal pain does not resolve.
Warning: do not self-medicate
Pills bought online without medical oversight may be counterfeit or dosed incorrectly, risking incomplete abortion and severe complications.
