Which medication is effective for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

What medicine is best to use for medication abortion? After medication abortion, is there any need to pay attention to using specific medications or dietary restrictions?

Doctor's answer:

Medication-induced abortion 1. Gestation less than 49 days: Mifepristone 50mg in the morning on the first day, 25mg at night; 25mg in the morning and evening on the second day; 25mg in the morning on the third day. One hour later, take misoprostol 600μg. If the gestational sac is not expelled within 3 hours, increase the dose by 200μg every hour until the gestational sac is expelled. The total daily dose can reach 1200μg. 2. Gestation 10-16 weeks: Mifepristone 500mg, twice daily, for two days. On the third day, place carboprost in the posterior fornix of the vagina. Place 1mg every two hours until the gestational product is expelled, with a maximum dose of 5mg. Alternatively, place misoprostol 600μg every three hours, with a maximum dose of 1800μg. After medication, closely monitor the patient. If the procedure fails, surgical termination of pregnancy should be performed promptly. There is a risk of severe bleeding. Use under the guidance of a local physician. Do not use it without professional advice.
