What is the Abortion Pill or RU-486?          

Got questions about the abortion pill?  The abortion pill, also known as RU-486 is a combination of two drugs — mifepristone and misoprostol — that cause early abortion. It should not be used if it has been more than 7 weeks since your last period. The abortion pill is NOT the same as the Morning After Pill.

 

What is a medical abortion anyway?

A medical abortion uses drugs like the ones mentioned above to end an early pregnancy.

 

How does it work?

The first pill, Mifepristone, is taken orally and blocks the hormone progesterone which is needed to maintain the pregnancy. The second pill, Misoprostol, is taken 24 to 72 hours later, causing the uterus to contract and expel the placenta and embryo.

 

What about my health? 

Side effects from the abortion pill include heavy bleeding, headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and cramping. If a medical abortion fails, a surgical abortion will be required.
