What are the possible risks of taking the abortion pill? Medical Abortion
Medication abortion has been used safely in the U.S. for more than 15 years. Serious complications are really rare, but can happen. These include:
- the abortion pills don’t work and the pregnancy doesn’t end
- some of the pregnancy tissue is left in your uterus
- blood clots in your uterus
- bleeding too much or too long
- infection
- allergic reaction to one of the medicines Â
These problems aren’t common. And if they do happen, they’re usually easy to take care of with medication or other treatments.
In extremely rare cases, some complications can be very serious or even life threatening. Call your doctor or health center right away if you:
- have no bleeding within 24 hours after taking the second medicine (misoprostol) -Medical Abortion
- have heavy bleeding from your vagina that soaks through more than 2 maxi pads in an hour, for 2 or more hours in a row
- pass large clots (bigger than a lemon) for more than 2 hours
- have belly pain or cramps that don’t get better with pain medication
- have a fever of 100.4 or higher more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol
- have weakness, nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea that lasts more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol
