how to use abortion pills

Abortion pills are medicines that help stop a pregnancy. Abortion pills are also called “medication abortions.” These medicines are also used in miscarriage care. They cause cramping and bleeding.

Method 1

Mifepristone + Misoprostol

This method is 95% to 98% effective and is very safe. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which makes sure medicines are safe, has approved this method.

Method 2

Misoprostol only

Another common method is to only use Misoprostol. The World Health Organization supports this practice. Both methods work well, are very safe, and are used by many people all around the world.

"The individuals I interacted with over the call were considerate, and they furnished me with knowledge for every aspect of managing my situation. M+A engages individuals who provide love, support, and allow me to express freely without fear of judgement, denouncement, or mockery. I'm grateful for the unbiased individuals operating the helpline who have treated me with humanity — as opposed to disregarding me or imposing any 'perspective' of belief onto me."
