Before reading this article regarding abortion pills, please remember that abortion pills must only be taken under supervision and instruction by your doctor. It is not only illegal but also very harmful to self-administer these.

You must take abortion pills orally or vaginally during a medical abortion. Unlike a surgical abortion, there is no need for anesthesia or surgery. It works by combining two pills that, when taken together, cause an abortion.1

A gynaecologist will initially evaluate the progression of pregnancy by performing the required tests and scans. If a woman is pregnant but does not want to proceed with the pregnancy, the doctor will evaluate all the options depending on the progression of the pregnancy; and will also consider the patient’s medical history, among other things. If the pregnancy is early enough and there are no risks to the procedure, a doctor may recommend a medical abortion.
