Suggest Safe Medications To Abort 5 Weeks Of Pregnancy

Brief Answer:
Can have a medical abortion induced under surveillance.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Medical abortion can be used until 9 weeks of pregnancy under medical surveillance.

You need to see a specialist, get the pregnancy clinically confirmed, have routine blood counts, urinalysis and a trans-vaginal sonogram to locate the gestation sac and also the age of the pregnancy.

The consultant will then prescribe the drugs and the dosage to induce the abortion. Mifepristone and Misoprostol is the combination mostly used and also very effective. The whole process takes 2-3 days. You need to have a follow up clinical exam and a sonogram after two weeks to ensure completion of the process.

Failure of an induced medical abortion can occur in 5 percent of cases, when surgical evacuation is to be done.

Hope your query has been clarified. Please feel free to contact for further information. I will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
Self-medication is not advised.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

Even if the pregnancy is confirmed by you, self-medication is strictly contra-indicated to induce a medical abortion. This is because the abortion can be incomplete leading to heavy blood loss, infection can set in and the occasional possibility of trying to abort an ectopic pregnancy can cause grave danger.

The medications commonly used, as I have mentioned earlier, are a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol. They are available in a standard dose combination. Repeat dose may sometimes become necessary if the initial dose is not sufficient and the attending doctor decides on it.

Hope this helps. Please get back if you need any more clarifications. I will be glad to answer.

regards,
Shanti.V.
