How long should you be pregnant before it's best to have a medication abortion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I cannot get pregnant due to health reasons. How long should I take medication for an abortion if I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Medical abortion is a method of induced abortion, which refers to the combined use of mifepristone and misoprostol to terminate early pregnancy and expel the embryo outside the body. First, mifepristone tablets are taken for three days, followed by the addition of misoprostol on the fourth day. Generally, the gestational sac can be expelled within 4 to 6 hours after taking misoprostol tablets. Medical abortion is suitable for early pregnancy within 49 days.
