Don’t let the name confuse you — the abortion “pill” actually uses two pills, Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Taken first, Mifepristone is used to terminate the pregnancy by ceasing the body’s production of progesterone, a hormone that nourishes and grows the pregnancy.
Once the pregnancy has been terminated, Misoprostol is taken to force the fetal tissue from the womb by causing contractions.
The abortion pill is only effective in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Schedule your no-cost ultrasound scan at Miami Valley Women’s Center today to determine if you are eligible.
