Is medication abortion done in the hospital or can one buy the medicine themselves at home?

Patient's question:

Please ask if medicine is taken at the hospital or bought at home yourself?? What medicine is better to buy??

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to undergo medication abortion only after confirming an intrauterine pregnancy. The abortion medications include mifepristone and misoprostol. These should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. After the abortion, you need to rest for 2 weeks, maintain cleanliness and hygiene in the external genital area, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutritious foods to help your body recover quickly. Before menstruation resumes after the abortion, sexual activity should be avoided, as should sitting baths, vaginal irrigation, and medication administration.
