What are the precautions to take during medication for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Because of an accidental pregnancy, I'm considering having an abortion. Could you please tell me what precautions I should take during the medication period?

Doctor's answer:

In the case of an unintended pregnancy where a medical abortion is desired, the first step should be to visit a hospital for an examination to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy and ensure the pregnancy duration does not exceed 49 days. Medication for medical abortion will be administered orally. After taking misoprostol, careful observation is required in the hospital. During the medication period, dietary precautions should be followed, avoiding spicy, irritating, and extremely cold foods. Do not consume any food one hour before or after taking the medication.
