What Is the Abortion Pill? The abortion pill, also called a medical abortion , involves two drugs taken within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. The first drug, mifepristone, works by blocking the hormone progesterone, which is needed for a pregnancy to continue. The second drug, misoprostol, is taken later at home to cause cramping and bleeding that expels the pregnancy. While this method is commonly used early in pregnancy, not everyone is eligible to take the abortion pill. Several medical factors need to be considered first. Can I Take the Abortion Pill? It’s essential first to confirm how far along you are and rule out any health concerns that may make the abortion pill not an option . It may be more risky if: You are more than 10 weeks pregnant, dating from the first day of your last menstrual period You have a possible ectopic pregnancy (outside the uterus) You currently have an IUD in place You have certain medical conditions, such as bleeding disorders, heart problems, severe liver or kidney disease, or unmanaged seizures You are taking blood thinners or certain steroid medications You have allergies to the medications involved You cannot return for follow-up care or access emergency services if needed A limited ultrasound is a critical first step.
