What is an Abortion Pill?

Abortion pills are two different medications intended to terminate an early pregnancy. Also known as medication abortion, it is the non-surgical process of ending a pregnancy in its early stages. The most common abortion pill process consists of taking mifepristone and misoprostol. Progesterone, a hormone required to sustain pregnancy, is blocked by mifepristone. The uterine contractions caused by misoprostol allow the body to get rid of the pregnancy tissue.

Medication abortion is a nonsurgical way to terminate a pregnancy in the first trimester. Your doctor may talk to you about possibilities for a procedure if you are past the first trimester. Terms for procedure abortions are in-clinic abortion, aspiration abortion, and dilation and curettage (D&C) abortion.

How Abortion Pill Works?

Mifepristone and misoprostol abortion pills are used in a medication abortion, which helps in ending a pregnancy in a non-surgical manner. As soon as the pregnancy is confirmed through an ultrasound, these can be consumed under a doctor’s supervision. Abortion pills in India are allowed to be used in the termination of early pregnancy, not exceeding seven weeks, and should be prescribed by a registered medical practitioner only.

Herein, you will be given an MTP kit with oral medications, and after a week of consuming the medications, the doctor will do a detailed examination to ensure the complete abortion. 

The first medicine prepares the uterus to terminate pregnancy. It functions by preventing the synthesis of progesterone and resulting in the breakdown of the uterine lining.

The second pill helps the uterus contract, shed the lining of the uterus, and release the embryo. Usually, during the first seven weeks, abortion pills are advised. And, if the pregnancy is more than six weeks, the doctor might suggest a surgical abortion.

Advantages and Side Effects Associated With Abortion Pills

ProsCons
Effective only till 12 weeks of pregnancyHeavy bleeding or cramping after the procedure
Surgical complications are completely avoided Not a one-day process and takes a few days to complete. 
Not invasive Not recommended for ectopic pregnancy, anaemia, and bleeding disorders. 
A hospital visit is not always requiredNot completely effective all the time. Sometimes the pregnancy tissue remains, which requires surgery. 
Less costlier than surgical abortionFollow-up visits are required 

Medication Abortion Timeline

  • Day 1: The doctor advises you to consume an oral tablet of mifepristone on the first day.  It blocks the development of progesterone, which is required to further develop a pregnancy. 
  • Day 2 or 3: You take misoprostol pills, which dissolve in your vagina or mouth(Between cheek and gum). It helps in the pregnancy removal from your uterus.
  • Follow-up: Visit a doctor on day 7-14 for confirmation of the successful termination of pregnancy

Who Should Choose the MTP?

Women may choose Medical Termination of Pregnancy(MTP).

  • If they become pregnant by mistake
  • Want to end an early miscarriage
  • Have a medical condition that makes it dangerous for them to carry the pregnancy to term.  

As long as there are no difficulties and the gynecologist has given the all-clear, women in the early stages of pregnancy can opt for MTP.  Although the decision to end a pregnancy is very personal, the Indian government has passed MTP laws, MTP Act 2021, governing abortion.  

There are two common methods for ending an unwanted pregnancy:

  • Medication abortion, in which abortion pills are used
  • Surgical Abortion, in which Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is done
