The Abortion Pill | Medical Abortion Information
Learn more about medical abortions and the potential risks.
What is the Abortion Pill?
The abortion pill is two drugs and it is usually taken in two separate doses. The abortion pill goes by many names including missed period pills, at-home abortion, self-managed abortion, 10-week-after pills, medication, medical, or chemical abortion. It is not the same as Plan B, the morning-after pill or emergency contraceptives.
Side Effects of the Abortion Pill
The abortion pill is not an option for people with certain medical conditions, if the pregnancy is not viable, or if the pregnancy occurs outside of the uterus.
It's important to rule out an ectopic pregnancy or a natural miscarriage and find out how far along you are through an ultrasound. Conception calculators can only estimate a potential due date.
Side effects from the abortion pill include:
-
cramping
-
contractions
-
heavy bleeding
-
fever
-
headaches
-
nausea
-
abdominal pain
-
blood clots
-
allergic reactions
-
infection
-
vomiting
-
diarrhea
-
hospitalization
-
in rare cases, death
