The Abortion Pill:
Medical Abortion with Mifepristone and Misoprostol
The most common reasons women consider abortion are:
Birth control (contraceptive) failure. Over half of all women who have an abortion used a contraceptive method during the month they became pregnant.3
Inability to support or care for a child. To end an unwanted pregnancy. To prevent the birth of a child with birth defects
or severe medical problems. Such defects are often unknown until routine second-trimester tests are done. Pregnancy resulting from r**e or in**st. Physical or mental conditions that endanger the woman's health if the pregnancy is continued. What is the Medical Abortion? Medical Abortion (brand name Mifeprex) is a form of early abortion caused by the combination of two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol that is an option for women who are 9 weeks pregnant or less. Also known as RU486 or medication abortion. During the first appointment you receive the mifepristone pill to take orally. Then 24 to 72 hours later, in the privacy of your own home, you take the the second medication, misoprostol. Misoprostol causes contractions resulting in expelling embryo. When used in combination, mifepristone and misoprostol are 95-97% effective within two weeks. Mifepristone and misoprostol are FDA approved. Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone needed to maintain the pregnancy. Because this hormone is blocked, the uterine lining begins to shed, the cervix begins to soften and bleeding may occur. With the later addition of the second medication, misoprostol, the uterus contracts and the pregnancy is usually expelled within 6 to 8 hours. Because the woman chooses when she takes the second medication within the time frame of 24 to 72 hours after the first medication, she has some control over the timing of when she expels the pregnancy and experiences the side effects of bleeding and cramping. Some women choose the Medical Abortion because of the privacy it offers. Some women feel empowered by taking an active role in the process. Use
You speak with an experienced counselor who explains how mifepristone and misoprostol work and makes sure you get answers to all of your questions. The concerned person will give you the mifepristone to take orally. You are also given one bottle containing four tablets of misoprostol to be used 24 to 72 hours after taking mifepristone. That will expel the pregnancy embryo effective upto 95-97%. What To Expect
Upon taking mifepristone you may begin to bleed. As each woman's body is different, bleeding varies from woman to woman. Some may experience light bleeding much like spotting towards the end of a menstrual period. Others have heavier bleeding like their regular menstrual period, or like a heavy period. Some women do not experience any bleeding until taking the misoprostol. Upon taking the second medication misoprostol tablet, cramping, bleeding, and clotting may begin as soon as 20 minutes. Within the next 6 to 8 hours, most women will expel the embryo or pregnancy will be no more. Cramping may come in waves with increasing and decreasing intensity. You can expect bleeding heavier than a menstrual period. During this time, you will pass the embryo although you may not see it since it is very small. Side Effects
Most of the side effects when using this early abortion option are caused by the second medication, misoprostol. Side-effects may include heavy bleeding, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and heavy cramping. Criteria
Abortion Medication may be an option if you:
Are less than 9 weeks since your last menstrual period. Are willing and able to give informed consent. Have the support you need such as access to reliable transportation and ability to communicate with the expert by telephone. Live no more than 2 hours away hospital. Agree to have a surgical abortion if the misoprostol does not induce termination (Very very rare chance 2% out 100%). Future Fertility
According to studies of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the National Abortion Federation, there are no known long term risks associated with using mifepristone and misoprostol. Therefore, women may pursue another pregnancy whenever they feel the time is right after having a Medical Abortion.
***Important thing which should be noted***
(Induced abortion is one of the most performed medical interventions. Making abortion illegal does not reduce the number of abortions. 20 million of the 42 million abortions performed annually are illegal and unsafe. Legalization of abortion can prevent unnecessary suffering and death of women)
Difference between a Surgical abortion and a Medical abortion? There are two types of abortions: surgical and medical. Surgical abortions are the most common and use a procedure called “vacuum aspiration.” The process starts with a pelvic examination. Next, a shot of anesthesia, or pain killer, is applied to the cervix. This numbs the pelvic area. Some choose general anesthesia, which basically means being put to sleep during the abortion. Once the anesthesia, or pain medicine, is applied, the cervix is “dilated” or widened and a vacuum-like tube is inserted. The tube is used to remove the contents of the uterus. The procedure takes between 5 and 15 minutes. The average cost is $295. Many clinics offer sliding fee scales, charging only what a girl or woman can afford to pay. Medical abortions, also called drug-induced abortions, use medicine to expel pregnancy embryo. First time by guidance of expert Mifepristone (also known as RU-486). It works by preventing your body from producing progesterone, a hormone that is necessary for a pregnancy to continue. Second time, usually three days later, another medication is given called Misoprostol. This causes the uterus to contract, which leads to a heavy period and a expel pregnancy embryo. After taking both medications, it’s important to make sure the abortion is complete and there are no complications. Medical abortions are 95-97 percent effective and cost about $350(in America) depending on where you live. But in Pakistan under expert's supervision its cost is as low as you can afford very easily.
