Patient's question:
Can taking medication after pregnancy cause miscarriage? What kind of medication can be taken? How many days of medication are needed?Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, it is possible to perform an abortion through medication, but it cannot be used for very advanced gestational weeks. Generally, this method is considered for abortions within the first two months of pregnancy, as the risk of medication-induced abortion increases with the size of the fetus. The medications used for medication-induced abortion are prescription drugs and can only be obtained from hospitals. They are typically mifepristone and misoprostol. Generally, these medications are taken for three days, but they must be used under the guidance of a physician, as they may cause repeated heavy vaginal bleeding.
