The abortion pill may seem like a quick and effective solution to an unplanned pregnancy. However, like any medical procedure, it comes with risks and side effects you need to be aware of. Here's what you need to know:
⚪ It's actually TWO pills — mifepristone is taken first, then misoprostol 24–48 hours later.
📅 FDA-approved only up to 10 weeks — an ultrasound beforehand is essential to confirm gestational age and rule out ectopic pregnancy.
🩸 Expect bleeding — it typically starts within 2–24 hours after the second pill and can last anywhere from 9 to 30+ days.
⚠️ Common side effects include: nausea, cramping, chills, fever, headaches, and diarrhea
🚨 Serious risks to watch for: hemorrhaging, incomplete abortion, infection, or allergic reaction
👩⚕️ Call your doctor immediately if you: soak through 2+ pads/hour, have a fever over 100.4°F for 4+ hours, or experience persistent pain and vomiting
