How many days of pregnancy can an abortion be performed?

Patient's question:

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for over three years. We moved in together this spring. I feel like I might be pregnant because my period hasn't come yet, but I can't have the baby because I'm not married yet. I want to know how many days pregnant can one have an abortion?

Doctor's answer:

Suggested to perform medication abortion three weeks later, using a sequential combination of mifepristone tablets and prostaglandin drugs, which can be used to terminate pregnancy within 49 days of amenorrhea.
[Usage and Dosage] For healthy women with early pregnancy of less than 49 days, take 25-50mg of mifepristone tablets twice a day on an empty stomach or 2 hours after a meal. Take for 2-3 days, with a total dose of 150mg. Fast for 2 hours after each dose. On the 3rd-4th day in the morning, place one carboprost tromethamine suppository (1mg) into the posterior fornix of the vagina, or use other similar prostaglandin drugs. Rest in bed for 1-2 hours, and observe at the outpatient clinic for 6 hours. Pay attention to bleeding after medication, the presence of pregnancy products, and any side effects.
