@drjeanius: What You Need To Know About Medication Abortion? Medication abortion is a safe an effective way for terminating a pregnancy. Medication abortion is an FDA-approved method to end a pregnancy in the first trimester. Decades of clinical evidence suggests that medication abortion can even be provided without laboratory tests or ultrasound prior to administration. Medication abortion involves usually two pills: Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Mifepristone block the pregnancy hormone to stop the pregnancy and misoprostol induces bleeding and cramping and expulsion of the pregnancy (similar to what occurs during a miscarriage). The combo of Mifepristone and Misoprostol is over 96% effective. Complications are rare. There’s no risk to your future pregnancies or to your overall health. Having an abortion doesn’t increase your risk for breast cancer or affect your fertility. It doesn’t cause problems for future pregnancies like birth defects, premature birth or low birth weight, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or infant death. There are many myths out there about the effects of abortion.
