How to Use Abortion Pills
Mifepristone & Misoprostol Combination Protocol
First day:
Swallow one 200mg mifepristone pill. (Mifepristone is the larger pill in the kit or bag.)
36-48 hours later:
Misoprostol is not swallowed. You may put the pills inside your cheeks or under your tongue (whichever method you prefer). Hold them there for 30 minutes without swallowing while your body absorbs the medicine. Then swallow the pills with a drink.
8 weeks or less: If your period was 8 weeks or less ago, just use 4 of the 200mcg misoprostol pills.
If your period was over 8 weeks, put a second dose in your mouth 4 hours later.
More than 11 weeks: If your period was more than 11 weeks ago, 36 hours after taking the mifepristone, take 2 misoprostol. Take 2 more misoprostol pills 3 hours later, and continue to take 2 misoprostol pills every 3 hours until the pregnancy passes. For detailed directions and information on what to expect, click here.
More than 16 weeks: If your period was more than 16 weeks ago, please reach out to AdvancedSupport@proton.me for directions and accompaniment.
Misoprostol pills vary based on manufacturer. Miso from a trusted source will contain 200mcg of miso regardless of its appearance.
In less than 1% of abortion pill usage, aftercare is required for a complication. In aftercare, vaginal use of the pills may be detected. Pills taken by mouth and absorbed then swallowed are undetectable.
