What are the conditions for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

My friend accidentally got pregnant, but she doesn't want to keep it. She is planning to have a medication abortion and wants to know what the conditions for medication abortion are.

Doctor's answer:

Medication-induced abortion requires a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to confirm the presence of a gestational sac, along with blood tests (complete blood count and coagulation profile) showing no abnormalities. If fever is accompanied by acute infection, abortion is contraindicated. Oral medication abortion carries risks and must be taken under the guidance of a doctor in a formal hospital. Individuals with a history of allergies should avoid its use. If excessive bleeding or severe abdominal pain occurs after the procedure, it is essential to seek immediate re-examination.
