Abortion Pill
Considering The Abortion Pill in Arlington-Arlington Hills, FL?
Before you take the pill know the facts…
The Abortion Pill is a chemical/medical abortion used for women within 10 weeks of their last menstrual period. A chemical abortion involves a series of pills to terminate a pregnancy and does not require surgery or anesthesia. The medications (mifepristone and misoprostol) work together to end and expel a pregnancy from a woman’s body. The first pill, mifepristone, is given at a doctor’s office or clinic and blocks a woman’s progesterone, which is the hormone a woman’s body needs to develop a fetus. The second pill, misoprostol, is taken approximately one to two days later and will generate labor contractions. Misoprostol can cause severe cramping and heavy bleeding as the body expels the contents of the uterus.
According to the FDA, some women should not take the first medication if it has been more than 70 days since the first day of their last menstrual period or if she:
- has an ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside of the uterus)
- has problems with the adrenal glands (the glands near the kidneys)
- is currently being treated with long-term corticosteroid therapy (medications)
- has had an allergic reaction to the drugs used in the abortion pill, or similar drugs
- has bleeding problems or is taking anticoagulant (blood-thinning) drug products
