Medical abortion is an FDA-approved method to end an unwanted pregnancy while it is still in its early stage. It involves taking two types of pills: mifepristone, which blocks a hormone needed for a pregnancy to continue, and misoprostol, which causes contractions to expel the pregnancy. Until recently, mifepristone was only available in the US as a branded product, but now GenBioPro generic mifepristone is available.
Medical abortion is an FDA-approved method to end a pregnancy within 70 days from the first day of your patient’s last menstrual period. This abortion method is non-invasive – using pills – and is an alternative to an aspiration procedure and anesthesia. It has been used safely and effectively in the US for more than 15 years.
