Abortion What drugs can abortion take

Abortion refers to termination of pregnancy. Mifepristone and misoprostol may be prescribed to terminate pregnancy.

Medical abortion requires strict evaluation. The doctor will ask about the medical history, including previous health conditions, pregnancy times, abortion history, etc., and conduct a comprehensive physical examination, such as ultrasound examination to determine the intrauterine pregnancy and gestational sac size. Blood routine and coagulation function tests will also be performed to ensure that the pregnant woman is suitable for medical abortion. Mifepristone is generally taken first to separate the gestational sac from the uterine wall, and then misoprostol is taken to promote uterine contraction and discharge of the gestational sac.

After misoprostol is taken, the pregnant woman should be observed in the hospital so that the doctor can detect and treat the possible massive bleeding and gestational sac residue in time. If there is excessive bleeding or the gestational sac is not discharged for a long time, further treatment may be required, such as curettage surgery. Even after the gestational sac is discharged, ultrasound should be repeated at the specified time to confirm whether the abortion is complete.
