The Abortion Pill is a non-surgical abortion often referred to as a medical abortion. This early option is available to women within the first 10 weeks (70 days) of their pregnancy.
The regimen we use in our clinics for the abortion pill consists of TWO medications.
- The first medication is a progesterone blocker and is the only FDA approved non-surgical option for early abortion. For more information regarding this medication click here.
- The second medication is a prostaglandin that will help induce contractions and allow the contents of the uterus to be passed. This regimen is effective in 97% of cases with no surgical intervention required. For the 3% of patients in which the regimen is not effective, a surgical abortion procedure may be required.
IMPORTANT: Many other facilities offer non-surgical abortions, but do not use the first medication. They opt to use cheaper and less effective alternatives, like one commonly used in chemotherapy and not approved by the FDA for non-surgical abortions. It also is less effective than the first medication we use and increases the chances of having to have a surgical procedure.
At Garden State Gynecology we are committed to providing the safest and most effective care and therefore we elect to use both medications despite its increased cost.
Your doctor and the support staff at Garden State Gynecology will answer all questions you may have to help you decide which of these services you chose.
