Does medication abortion require an empty stomach?

Patient's question:

I don't want this baby, I bought medicine and went back to prepare for medication abortion. I had breakfast in the morning, is medication abortion required on an empty stomach?

Doctor's answer:

Before taking medication abortion, you need to be fasting, and routine and careful checks of the electrocardiogram, blood pressure, routine liver and kidney function, and abdominal ultrasound are required to confirm whether medication abortion is possible. After medication abortion, you also need to take anti-inflammatory drugs and drugs to promote uterine recovery under the guidance of a physician. Pay attention to keeping warm, you can eat some nutritious foods, and maintain regular bowel movements. After one week, do abdominal ultrasound irregularly to confirm whether there are any remnants of fetal tissue inside the uterus.
