How does medication abortion work?
Definition
Medication abortion is an FDA-approved way to end an early pregnancy using two medicines: mifepristone, then misoprostol. It is the most common method of abortion in the United States per Guttmacher, and up to 98% effective when used as directed according to NAF.
Medication abortion uses two medicines. You take mifepristone first, which stops the pregnancy from growing. Six to 48 hours later, you take misoprostol, which causes cramping and bleeding to empty the uterus.
