Brief Answer:
Should be used under medical supervision.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Ms. XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

Medical abortion should never be self-induced. It should be done under the supervision of a specialist after the preliminary evaluation.

Please get a clinical evaluation by a specialist, a trans-vaginal sonogram to see the location of the gestation sac and the age of the pregnancy, blood profile and urinalysis. Thus it is possible to avoid unnecessary complications and the possibility of trying to abort an ectopic pregnancy with grave consequences. Also, the correct dosage can be taken and follow up done to ensure completion of the process.

Mifepristone and Misoprostol is the most widely used combination to induce a medical abortion up to 9 weeks of pregnancy. This is supposed to be the most effective and safest mode at present. Side effects can vary from person to person based on the biological degradation of the drug in the body. The process of abortion is usually complete in 2-3 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
Definitely not advised; at your own risk.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

There is definitely no safe way out to get an abortion without medical supervision. You may do it at your own risk. Either way, a trans-vaginal sonogram is mandatory to avoid the risk of aborting an ectopic pregnancy which has grave consequences.

Hope I have answered your query. Please get back if you need more information. I will be available to help.
