The abortion pill is a procedure that uses two different medications. This procedure is sometimes called a medication, medical, or chemical abortion or a planned miscarriage.  The FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) has approved this procedure for pregnancies that are 70 days (10 weeks) or less since the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP).  Mifeprex®, the brand name for mifepristone, is not approved for ending pregnancies that are further along.⁽1⁾

Mifeprex®, the first medication given in a medical abortion, blocks a hormone needed for your pregnancy to continue.⁽1⁾  That hormone is progesterone.  Progesterone causes the lining of your uterus to thicken to provide a supportive environment for a fertilized egg/embryo.  Progesterone also helps maintain that supportive environment throughout pregnancy. Blocking progesterone leads to the breakdown of the lining of the uterus and the inability of the embryo or fetus to survive.

Misoprostol (also known as Cytotec®), the second medication used in this procedure, causes the uterus to contract and to expel the remains of the baby.  This process can take from a few hours to a few days.

When considering a medical abortion in Westpark-Kamms Corners, Cleveland, be aware of these FDA guidelines:

• Mifepristone (Mifeprex®) is approved for pregnancies that are 70 days (10 weeks) or less since the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP).
• A medical abortion requires at least two office visits and may require more.
• You should not pursue a medical abortion if you cannot follow up with your provider within 7-14 days of your first visit. A follow up assessment is essential to assure that the pregnancy has passed from your uterus.
