The abortion pill is actually a two-medication regimen. The first medication, mifepristone, stops the pregnancy from growing and makes the cervix softer so the pregnancy tissue can come out more easily. The second medication, misoprostol, is taken 24-48 hours later and causes the uterus to push the pregnancy out. Together they are highly effective — over 98% effective through 12 weeks of pregnancy.
No. These are completely different medications. Plan B prevents pregnancy from occurring. The abortion pill ends an existing pregnancy. They work differently and are used at different times.
The most common side effects are:
Over the counter Ibuprofen or Tylenol can be used to manage pain and fever. Nausea medication can be provided for an additional small fee.
We can provide one on one phone and text support throughout your care.
