How the Abortion Pill Works: Step-by-Step

Mifepristone: The First Step

  • Taken in-clinic under medical supervision — one 200 mg tablet
  • Blocks progesterone, causing uterine lining to break down and pregnancy to detach
  • 30–60 minute visit: ultrasound, exam, lab tests, consent, counseling
  • Mild cramping or spotting may begin immediately
  • You leave with misoprostol, full instructions, pain relief, and full support

Misoprostol: At-Home Completion

  • Take 24–48 hours later at home — four 200 mcg tablets (buccal or vaginal)
  • Cramping + heavy bleeding begin in 1–4 hours (like a heavy period)
  • Active phase lasts 4–6 hours; spotting may continue 1–2 weeks
  • Rest, hydrate, use heating pad, have support person if desired
  • Call for heavy bleeding (>2 pads/hr for 2 hrs) or fever >100.4°F
