What can you expect when taking a medical abortion pill at home?

At our how womens clinic in Gauteng. There are two pills necessary to complete an early medical abortion which must be taken within 48 hours of each other.

The first pill is a tablet, this blocks progesterone, a hormone that is needed for your pregnancy to continue. The mifepristone tablet is taken orally with a glass of water. We then advise that you wait one to two days before taking the next pill.

After your 24-48-hour break, you will take a tablet which causes the body to expel the pregnancy from the womb. Our pack comes with an instruction leaflet, which provides you with full details on how and when to take the tablets. As the second pill starts the contractions to expel the fetus from the womb, we suggest taking a pain killer 10 minutes before.Symptoms of Pregnancy
