Patient's question:
Can taking medication after pregnancy cause miscarriage? What kind of medication can one take? How many days does it take to consume the medication?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, it is possible to induce abortion through medication, but it cannot be used for abortions at a later stage. Generally, this method is considered for abortions within the first two months of pregnancy because the risk of medication-induced abortion increases as the fetus grows larger. The medications used for medication-induced abortion are prescription drugs and can only be obtained from hospitals. They are typically mifepristone and misoprostol, which are usually taken for three days. However, these medications should be used under the guidance of a physician, as they may lead to severe vaginal bleeding.
