Quick Facts About the Abortion Pill
We’d like to take a moment to share some quick facts about the abortion pill:
- The “abortion pill” is actually two pills. [1]
- The abortion pill is only approved for use up to a certain point of pregnancy (around 10 weeks) [2], so an ultrasound is important to determine exactly how far along you are.
- The abortion pill cannot treat ectopic pregnancy [3], which can be a life-threatening issue if not treated properly. [4] (This is another reason an ultrasound is so important!)
- The abortion pill does have risks and possible side effects. [5]
PS – You may have heard that you can order the abortion pill online. Check out more info on that here.
