What is medication abortion? Medication abortion is a safe and effective way to end a pregnancy. It involves taking two medicines over a couple days.

Mifepristone is the first of the two abortion pills. It will stop the pregnancy from growing.

Misoprostol, the second pill, is taken 24-48 hours later. It causes uterine cramping and bleeding to pass the pregnancy. You can expect bleeding and cramping similar to a heavy period. Light bleeding will last a few weeks.

We also include comfort medications for help with nausea and cramping.
