Introduction to Medical Abortion
Medical abortion is considered one of the safe and effective options for terminating pregnancy in its early stages. Unlike surgical abortion which requires surgical intervention, medical abortion relies on using abortion pills such as Cytotec (Misoprostol) and Mifepristone to terminate the pregnancy.
In this comprehensive article, we will cover everything you need to know about safe medical abortion, from its steps and benefits to preparation and aftercare, in addition to important information about abortion pills and Cytotec.
What is Medical Abortion?
Medical abortion is a procedure where medication is used to terminate a pregnancy. This is usually done using two medications:
- Mifepristone: Works by blocking the hormone progesterone which is necessary for the pregnancy to continue.
- Misoprostol: Commercially known as Cytotec, it causes uterine contractions that help expel the pregnancy contents.
These medications can be used together for best results, or Misoprostol (Cytotec) can be used alone in some cases.
Important Information
According to the World Health Organization, medical abortion is considered safe and effective with a success rate of up to 95-98% when using Mifepristone and Misoprostol (Cytotec) together during the first 9 weeks of pregnancy.
When Can Medical Abortion Be Performed?
Medical abortion is most effective during the early weeks of pregnancy. According to global medical guidelines:
- Medical abortion can be performed up to the 12th week of pregnancy (calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period).
- The effectiveness of medical abortion is higher during the first 9 weeks of pregnancy.
- After the 12th week, other methods might be needed under specialized medical supervision.

| Can be done at home after medical consultation | Performed in a clinic or hospital |
