Abortion pills (also called **medication abortion**) are used to safely end an early pregnancy, usually up to about **10–12 weeks** depending on local guidelines. They typically involve two medicines taken in sequence:—### 1. **Mifepristone (first pill)*** Taken first, usually at a clinic or sometimes at home depending on regulations.* **How it works:** * Blocks **progesterone**, a hormone needed to maintain pregnancy. * Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down, and the pregnancy stops growing.—### 2. **Misoprostol (second pill)*** Taken **24–48 hours later** (by mouth, under the tongue, in the cheek, or vaginally, depending on instructions).* **How it works:** * Causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue. * Similar to a miscarriage process.—### What to Expect* **Cramping and bleeding** (often heavier than a period) begin within a few hours after misoprostol.* May pass blood clots and tissue.* Other side effects: nausea, diarrhea, fever, or chills.—### Safety* Very effective (about **95–99%** when both medicines are used correctly).* Millions of people worldwide use this method safely each year.* **Complications are rare**, but warning signs to seek medical help include: * Very heavy bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads an hour for several hours). * Severe abdominal pain not relieved by medication. * Fever lasting more than 24 hours. * Foul-smelling vaginal discharge.—👉 Would you like me to also explain **what happens if only misoprostol is used** (sometimes done in places where mifepristone isn’t available), or just stick to the two-pill method?
