What is the name of the medication used for medication abortion?

Patient's question:

I had sex with my boyfriend last month, and it was also my first time. My period didn't come this month. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said I'm pregnant. How could it be so coincidental—getting pregnant on my first time? What should I do? I'm not yet an adult, and I want to have an abortion but don't know how to choose the medication. What kind of help do I need: What is the name of the abortion pill?

Doctor's answer:

Medication abortion, also known as medical abortion, refers to the use of mifepristone tablets and misoprostol medication taken orally to terminate early pregnancy. Whether it is a medication abortion or surgical abortion, it is necessary to go to the hospital for an examination. The most appropriate abortion method will be determined based on the size and location of the embryo, as well as your physical condition.
