What is the abortion pill?
Medication abortion is an FDA-approved treatment to end pregnancies up to 10 weeks. It involves two medications:
- Mifepristone – Stops the pregnancy from growing
- Misoprostol – Taken 6–48 hours later, causes the uterus to cramp and empty
This process is up to 98% effective and considered very safe for at-home use. Most complete it within 24–72 hours of the second pill, with symptoms easily managed at home like cramping, heavy bleeding, nausea, and fatigue—similar to a heavy period.
This treatment is the most common way to have an abortion in the US. Despite popular myths, having an abortion does not increase your risk for breast cancer, does not cause depression, and does not impact your ability to get pregnant in the future.
