Abortion Blue Mountain Clinic offers medical as well as surgical abortion services.
Medical abortion terminates pregnancy with medication instead of surgery.
This method of abortion has been available to women in Europe since 1990. The drug methotrexate is given by injection and stops pregnancy. About 1 week later, another drug called misoprostol is given by vaginal suppository and causes the uterus to expel the tissue. About one half of women abort within one day of taking the misoprostol. Others may take several days and a few may require additional doses of misoprostol to expel the tissue.
