About the Abortion Pill (RU46)

The Abortion Pill (Mifeprex) has been FDA approved since the year 2000.

A medical abortion is a private choice. It allows women to terminate a pregnancy on their own terms—in the privacy of their own homes. The drug-induced miscarriage mimics a natural miscarriage.

There is a 7% Failure Rate esp if you are close to 9 weeks and 2 days.

In such case, next step is getting a surgical abortions. That's why attending the in-person follow up one week after the pill was taken, thus it is critical in every process to call and check in with our office.
