MEDICAL ABORTION

Medication abortion also called abortion pill, can be taken up to 70 days (10 weeks pregnant).(1) On average, the cost of the abortion pill in clinic ranges from $300 to $700 in the United States.


The FDA approved "abortion pill" generally refers to a medical abortion method that involves taking two different medications to terminate an early pregnancy. The first medication blocks the hormone progesterone, which is necessary for pregnancy to continue. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down, and the pregnancy cannot continue. The second medication is taken 24 to 48 hours later. It causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy through the vagina.


Medical abortion isn’t an option if you:(2)


  • Have an intrauterine device (IUD) currently in place.
  • Have a concern that the pregnancy is outside of the uterus. This is called ectopic pregnancy and can be life-threatening.(3)
  • Are further along in your pregnancy than 10 weeks. The FDA has only approved the abortion pill for up to 10 weeks from the LMP. Taking the abortion pill later in pregnancy is associated with increased risk of complications, such as an incomplete abortion or severe bleeding.(4)
  • Have certain medical problems including: bleeding disorders, severe liver or kidney disease, known cardiac disease, or an uncontrolled seizure disorder.
  • Take certain medications including blood thinners or steroids.
  • Are allergic to the medicines used.
