Abortion Pill in Salmiya
The abortion pill in Salmiya is in fact two medicines (misoprostol & mifepristone). The first medicine ends the pregnancy and is named mifepristone. It works by blocking the hormone progesterone. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down and the pregnancy cannot continue.
The second medicine, misoprostol makes the womb contract, causing cramping, bleeding and the loss of the pregnancy similar to a miscarriage.
What to expect after using the medication in Salmiya depends on whether the pregnancy is less than or more than 10 weeks’ gestation. It will also depend on whether you can have telephone assessment and your Pills by Post or if you need to come into the clinic.
Medical abortion with abortion pill in Salmiya
Medical abortion in Salmiya is a simple and safe way to abort that involves taking two medications at two different times.
This method can be used up to 9 weeks of pregnancy in our Salmiya Medical Center.
The first drug terminates the pregnancy and is called mifepristone. It works by blocking the hormone progesterone. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus falls off and the pregnancy cannot continue.
The second drug, misoprostol, causes the uterus to contract, causing cramping, bleeding, and expulsion of the pregnancy similar to a miscarriage.
How Medical Abortion in Salmiya Works
When it comes to performing a medical abortion in Salmiya, the timing of the medications is important, a medical abortion works as follows:
You will take the first medication (mifepristone) at the clinic.
You will take the second medicine (misoprostol) 1 or 2 days later at home.
In the next 1-5 hours the pregnancy will be delivered.
Protocol – Steps of abortion pills
Step 1 – Mifepristone
The first medicine taken during this type of abortion, called mifepristone, blocks the hormone necessary for the pregnancy to progress. You will take a pill of mifepristone with water; this is done in the clinic in Salmiya. It is important to allow 24-48h to pass between taking this pill and the second medicine.
Step 2 – Misoprostol
The second drug is called misoprostol and it causes the body to expel the pregnancy from the uterus. Misoprostol in Salmiya causes softening and opening of the cervix (cervix) and contractions of the uterus, so that the pregnancy can be expelled through the vagina.
Misoprostol abortion pills in Salmiya are placed in the vagina or between the cheek and gums. The first dose is 4 pills and we will give you 2 more pills to put on 3-4 hours after the first dose.
We recommend taking some pain relief pills 10 minutes before using misoprostol. You can use misoprostol 24 to 48 hours after taking the first abortion pill (mifepristone).
