Patient's question:
Hello, is there any medicine that can cause an abortion? Is it necessary to go to the hospital? If you don't go to the hospital, can you buy medicine to cause an abortion yourself?Doctor's answer:
Adopting medication-induced abortion requires a thorough examination at the hospital, as medication-induced abortion is time-sensitive. Additionally, an ultrasound examination is necessary to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy. Generally, mifepristone and misoprostol are used in combination, as medication-induced abortion carries certain risks, including the possibility of incomplete miscarriage leading to severe bleeding. Therefore, such medications are not permitted to be sold in pharmacies and must be used under the guidance of a doctor at the hospital.
