MEDICAL TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY WITH MIFESPRITONE & MISOPROSTOL
If you realize you are pregnant early, medical abortion may be an alternative to surgical abortion. These tablets together are commonly known as the abortion pill. In a surgical abortion the pregnancy is removed through use of suction curettage, in medical abortion, however, “The Abortion Pill” is used to terminate and expel the pregnancy. The two drugs used for early medical abortion are Mifeprex (mifepristone) and Cytotec (misoprostol). The abortion by pill has been monitored in clinical trials in the United States and France, which have proven that the medical abortion has a success rate of 95% or greater for women 8 weeks pregnant or less. Since then, Mifeprex, also known as RU486, has been successfully used by over a half-million women to terminate early pregnancy.
Mifeprex blocks progesterone, a naturally produced hormone that prepares the lining of the uterus for a fertilized egg and maintains pregnancy. By blocking progesterone, Mifeprex causes the lining of the uterus to soften and break down, then bleeding and cramps begin. Mifeprex is also being used in Second Trimester Abortions. Some possible side effects of this half of the process may include, but are not limited to, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, and headaches.
